"No one has approached me. Even if I am acting, had my friend Manivannan, who is no longer with us, would have been there, he would make the film as it is," Sathyaraj said in a press event of Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan which was held recently, evoking laughter among the audience.

Further the actor said if filmmakers like Vetrimaaran, Pa Ranjith or Mari Selvaraj, makes the Modi biopic, it would be good. It is to be noted that Sathyaraj had earlier appeared in the biopic of social reformist Periyar.

Sathyaraj was last seen in the RJ Balaji-starrer Singapore Saloon which released earlier this year in January. The actor will be next seen in Weapon, alongside Vasanth Ravi. It is scheduled to release on June 7 and is touted to be a superhuman action drama.
