What: Abbas, who was once adored as a romantic hero in Tamil cinema, has been absent from the film industry for nearly eight years. He chose to retreat from the limelight and settled in New Zealand alongside his family.
Furthermore: Abbas experienced a rapid journey in the film world, rising to heartthrob status before facing a subsequent decline. Within just nine years of his debut, he transitioned from lead roles in beloved Tamil movies to taking on supporting characters. The actor, who rarely gives interviews, recently opened up about various matters, including his struggle with suicidal thoughts as a teenager and why he chose to distance himself from the film industry for the time being.
We say: Most people see the glam and the glitter in the film industry but scratch the surface and you’ll see the ugly reality wherein actors struggle to stay afloat. There is too much insecurity and struggle and many actors cave in. That’s why there are so many suicide cases in Bollywood, Tollywood, Hollywood and elsewhere. Abbas moved away from it all to restart his life.
