After a long while, actor Shine Tom Chacko is reuniting with his mentor director Kamal, with whom he worked as an assistant director during the initial stage of his career. From his first job on the sets of Nammal in 2002, his first role as Basheer in Khaddama (2011), and now his centenary release Vivekanandan Viralaanu, Shine achieved many of his milestones through Kamal.

But the actor is not interested in numbers, instead what he craves is the high from donning a new role in the next film. In this dialogue, the uniquely outspoken actor speaks to The New Indian Express about the magic of cinema, his long career, latest project, and life learnings.
