Nivin Pauly Says His Role In Benz Will Be Brutal
As reported by Times Of India the actor revealed that he was approached for a different role in the film, but the makers changed it to cast him as the villain. Nivin admitted that he had to change his acting methods completely to be on par with what Tamil audience would accept. “When entering Tamil cinema, there’s no point in proceeding the same way as Malayalam. I’ve made changes in acting style, in dialogue delivery — everything has been adapted to their meter”.
