In Mani Ratnam’s latest flick Ashokavanam, Vyapuri is rumoured to play a transgender. For the second time in his life, Vyapuri has taken this bold decision without caring about the social stigma associated with the role or public ridicule! He played a cross-dresser in Thullatha Manamum Thullum to add some laughter to the movie. It is unknown yet if his role in Ashokavanam serves as comic relief or not. In the film industry, a male actor playing a transgender is perhaps the greatest proof of his love for acting; not many are ready to enact such roles, fearing public ridicule. We should salute the courage of Vyapuri, a showman who is ready to do anything to entertain the audience.
