I love acting, and I might continue to act when I grow up.
Kids always bring joy, no one can argue on that. But these kids when get notorious, hell breaks loose. 
We happened to meet one such kid who will be remembered as the most notorious Kavin (Nishesh Abilash) debuting in the upcoming “Pasanga 2” directed by Pandiraj. Pandiraj’s previous outing with kids was one hilarious ride, hoping for the same this time too.
Nishesh at the moment was very excited for his interview and was enjoying his extended holidays due to heavy rainfall. Let’s see what this young chap has to say about Pasanga 2, personal life and his interests.

No no, it wasn’t the case. I auditioned for Pasanga 2, this Ad didn’t have anything to do with it.
