Actor Shane Nigam interview: On his Tamil debut
When Malayalam star Shane Nigam sits for a chat with us, his exhaustion from having sat through dozens of interviews is evident. He coughs through the chat and keeps his answers short, and yet, doesn’t resist a request for a live rendition of ‘Rafta Rafta Woh Meri’, Mehdi Hasan’s popular Ghazal which Shane has recreated in his upcoming film Haal (He previously composed and sang ‘Raa Thaarame’ from 2022’s Bhoothakaalam , and he says he has a few indie tracks ready for release). The icing on the cake is that this exhaustive promotional drive is not for a Malayalam film; Shane is taking his first bow in Tamil with Madraskaaran , set for release later this week. The film, co-starring Kalaiyarasan and Niharika Konidela, is undoubtedly the next logical step for the actor who has enjoyed quite some attention from Tamil audiences, especially on social media.
