A big Thala Ajith fan makes a mark in Vetrivel .

Rajesh Gopalan is a young, upcoming actor who recently made a mark in Sasikumar's Vetrivel. His role saw a turnaround in the final 10 minutes of the film and Rajesh has impressed critics and audiences with the villainy that he exhibited.

"I have been receiving calls from my previous directors like Thirukumaran sir and they are all happy for the recognition that I am getting. I am keen to look out for similar roles which create good impact. I see Samithirakani sir as an inspiration and wish to do the kind of varied roles that he is doing."

Rajesh acted as one of the friends who are behind Sivakarthikeyan in Maan Karate. He also enacted the role of Vemal's brother in Maapla Singam and Vetrivel is his third outing. Rajesh is a big Thala Ajith fan and somehow wishes to land himself a part in Ajith - Siva's 'Thala 57' which would get into shoots soon. We wish him the best in his journey.
