Antony Varghese, an actor known for playing hot-headed young characters in Malayalam films, is currently basking in the success of his new action film, RDX. The movie has been doing well at the bo x office, with impressive collections in the first week.

Antony revealed in a recent interview that he had to turn down roles in Kamal Hassan's Vikram and Vijay's Master due to other commitments.

Antony: Was too busy shooting for Ajagajantharam to accept Master

During an interview with Popperstop Malayalam, Antony was asked about receiving a call from the team of the movie 'Master'. He revealed that he had to decline the offer as he was already occupied with the shooting of another movie called Ajagajantharam, in which he played a lead role. Antony stated that the filming of Ajagajantharam demanded a lot of effort from him as an actor, and therefore he could not commit to Master, which required a two-month date.
