Premajayantha name rings a bell.
I remember seeing a film in 50s in which one handsome guy was playing a lead role. But this one is playing a mongol act here after being a minister for over a two decades. I can understand the ones being played in BMICH etc. with so called elite women who can be found dime a bushel.
He tries to play this to the gallery!.
