India, Oct. 24 -- Malayalam actor Jayaram has been basking in all the praise that's come his way following his role in Rishab Shetty's Kantara prequel, Kantara Chapter 1. The veteran actor played king Rajashekara, who is later revealed to be one of the main antagonists, a role that has received widespread appreciation. Although Jayaram is often associated with big ticket projects like Vijay's The G.O.A.T, Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2, Guntur Karam, Game Changer, among many others, his roles rarely get talked about. So, when his casting in Kantara Chapter 1 was announced, audiences were not expecting anything groundbreaking from him.
