Chennai, May 8 (IANS): Actor Kabir Duhan Singh, who made a smashing Tamil debut last year with Ajith Kumar-starrer "Vedalam", has now teamed up with actor Vijay Sethupathi in his next outing "Rekka". He will be playing the antagonist in the film.

"There were a few offers after 'Vedalam' but I didn't find them appealing. I wanted my second film to be as good as my first. So I waited for the right opportunity and then came 'Rekka'. I'm excited about working with Vijay Sethupathi," Kabir told IANS.

The just-launched "Rekka" also stars Lakshmi Menon and Harish Uthaman.

"I'm a fan of Vijay Sethupathi's work. Everybody I spoke to in the industry had only good things to say about him. Even before I signed the project, there was a lot of positivity and that convinced me to accept the offer," he said. 

While Kabir doesn't divulge much about his role, he says he plays a businessman.

"I play the main antagonist. I join the sets on May 12," he said.

He will soon start working on his Kannada debut film with actor Sudeep. The project is not yet titled.

In Telugu, Kabir's latest release "Supreme" is turning out to be a successful venture.

"I'm really happy with the response to 'Supreme'. This success has come at the right time. I'm also working on Sunil's 'Jakkanna' currently," he added.
