Chennai, Jan 28 (IANS) Debutant Baasha, son of popular Tamil actor Nasser, will be seen playing the role of the latter's grandson in upcoming Tamil drama "Saivam", which is being directed and produced by A.L. Vijay.

"I'm an ardent fan of his work. I admire his acting and have always written good roles for him in my films. In 'Saivam', his role of a grandfather holds the film together," he added.
