The much sought after supporting actor of Kannada cinema Avinash has reasons to smile. In the huge cut outs of ‘Chandramukhi’ (as it completed 150 days) film starring Rajanikanth there is another huge cut out the other side of the huge poster. That is of Avinash. This is a big surprise for me says Avinash. It is something noteworthy for an actor who hails from Kannada filmdom to get such honor. In ‘Chandramukhi’ Avinash plays the similar Mantravadi role he had done in Kannada film ‘Aptha Mithra’ from which Tamil superstar Rajanikanth got inspired that eventually made him to comeback to acting in ‘Chandramukhi’. Prior to Rajanikanth doing the role of psychiatrist Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan had played the role for which he got the Film Fare award too. For Kannada version the Malayalam film ‘Mani Chitrathal’ starring Mohanlal and Shobana was the inspiration.

There is some more news from this agile actor Avinash. He has signed an important film ‘POI’ (in Telugu it is Apadham) in Tamil that is 101st directorial venture of spectacular director of South India K.Balachander. Avinash plays the role of a politician in ‘Poi’ that is produced by Prakash Rai. Hailing from Karnataka Prakash Rai produces this film for his mentor KB.
