A ‘Master’ returns
|
Tinku is back in the reckoning after Jodi No 1
|
After a gap of quite a few years, Tinku is again signing autographs. As always, they read, ‘With love, Master Tinku’. That is Tinku’s way of paying tribute to the industry that made him a star at an age when most kids were learning
‘A B C’.
He started acting when he was two-and-a-half, and did a slew of films till he was 13. Then, he went through a difficult phase of transition that most child actors go through . But, he persisted with jobs behind the camera, doing still photography (he was assistant photographer in “Devar Magan”, and assisted cameraman Jayanan Vincent for a while), editing, music direction, and the like. Finally, the big break came with television. Serials such as “Kolangal”, “Lakshmi”, “Nimmadi” and “Naanayam” happened. And, then came Jodi Number 1, Season Two, where he was paired with Preethi. The duo won the title, and Tinku is in the seventh heaven. What Tinku values in the programme is the sudden rush of popularity it has given him. “Even earlier, I had a good name. But, in just four months of the programme, it has doubled.” So, what is he going to do with the prize money? “I have not thought much about it. Whatever it is, it will be for my daughter Lakshanaa,” says the happy father.
