I’m getting good feedback for my roles in Pandigai and Thiri, and I’m hopeful these films will take me to the next level in my career,” says actor Arjai .

I’m getting good feedback for my roles in Pandigai and Thiri, and I’m hopeful these films will take me to the next level in my career,” Arjai said.
In Pandigai, a film about underground street-fight, he played a fighter. “It was a challenging role. On director Feroz’s request, I learnt mixed martial arts and that’s why the action sequences look so real. Special thanks to stunt choreographers Anbu and Arivu for making action scenes stand out,” he said.
Arjai said he would like to position himself as a character artist.
