The 6 footer is called Akashdeep Saigal. He does have a problem with speaking in Tamil. Director K V Anand did a few days of shooting in
Triplicane in a printing press with Akashdeep Saigal. That seems to be the villain’s area in the film.
Anand taught Sehgal his Tamil lines but despite a few takes, the actor could not get his pronunciation right, so the task was taken up by
Bala, one of the story/dialogue writers. It took one day for Saigal to accomplish, "Avanaal ennai onnum panna mudiyadhu."
If this is the story of a one-line dialogue, wonder how long it will take for dialogues for the whole film!
