Though there are no hit films in the recent past and passing his time in leisure, Tarun reportedly refused to play hero in a film Parijatam. In fact, the film is a big hit in Tamil and was claimed to be a feel-good film. However, Tarun refused the offer claiming that it lacks any scope to perform. It may be recalled that Tarun had acquired a lover-boy image with his hits like 'Nuvve Kaavaali' and 'Nuvve Nuvve'. His attempts to prove himself as an action/ mass hero failed to click. He better understand that opportunity knocks the door once, while bad luck keeps ringing the doorbell till someone opens it.
