Chennai, Sep 17: Southern actor Aryan Rajesh, who is returning to Tamil cinema after four years with a string of films, says it's challenging to make a comeback in an industry plagued by cut-throat competition.

Rajesh is currently busy shooting for three Tamil films - "Eera Veyyil", "Thuttu" and "Vedikkai".

There are so many actors nowadays that you don't know with whom you will have to compete when your film comes out. I think comebacks are not easy in the current scenario," Aryan told Ians.
