He has been roped in for the role in Kaalidas which is being directed by debutant Sri Senthil. The director of Naalaya Iyakkunar fame has reportedly told Deccan Chronicle: “Bharath is not the usual cop you see in every other film. There’s a persona; side to him in the suspense thriller, and the story, which happens in a span of three days, also deals with it. It looks like Bharath is equally thrilled to essay a cop for the first time in his career.” On getting to play the cop role, Bharath had reportedly told in an interview that he did miss out a couple of opportunities to play a cop but when Sri Senthil came up with the script he just couldn’t say and agreed to ink the dotted lines.
