“On the set of a movie called The Hero where I play ‘the villain!’ Was a natural progression I guess, I’ve played the anti-hero through most of my career. Oh and this one’s in Tamil??! New language, new territory. Grateful,” Abhay wrote on Instagram on Friday.


Along with the post, he shared a few photographs of himself from the set. Hero is being directed by PS Mithran. Bankrolled by KJR Studios, the film is touted to have an important social message for the audience. This film marks Kalyani Priyadarshan’s debut into Tamil cinema, and she’s paired opposite Sivakarthikeyan.
