K annada actor Aditya (popularly called Adi) is back on the screen after a self-imposed sabbatical.

After the success of Deadly Soma in 2004, which was based on the story of a real-life underworld don, and its sequel Deadly II more than five years later, Aditya is doing only action oriented roles to ensure that his producers get a minimum guarantee in the form of box-office returns.

Son of the celebrated Kannada film-maker S V Rajendra Singh Babu, Aditya has more than 10 films on hand which will keep him busy till late 2013.

His film Villain , which was previously titled Tippoo , is releasing this Friday across Karnataka.

In this interview with Srikanth Srinivasa , Aditya talks about Villain and the long list of awaited releases.

What is Villain all about? Why did the makers go for a title change?

It is an underworld love story. I liked the thought that director M S Ramesh put that was followed by a narration.
