Be it in Malayalam or Tamil, I got to play characters who had plenty to do in the storyline and not just be a prop.
My thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.
I got a lot of exposure because of 'Eega,' as the film was released in Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam.
I have acted in Tamil and Telugu, languages that were alien to me. It was then that I got the call to Malayalam.
The idea of having different characters is really just to get the storyline across, you know? Coming from one particular character makes, to me, the story boring. I get that mainly from novels and that style of writing or movies where there's multiple characters who carry the storyline.
I don’t mind if the character is a small character, but I would just like her to have a journey in the film. Sometimes the characters are just there as a prop to further the man’s story. The great directors I’ve talked to, I’ve said listen, I don’t mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end that’s different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s just like being a prop.
Yes, I have had more commercial success in Malayalam but that doesn't mean I can't do with more in Tamil.
I had a smooth take-off in Malayalam, I would like to explore more and take up films that are different in Tamil.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
Piggie James was the storyline that brought LayCool to fruition and really started and helped develop our characters. It was a main storyline that, at the time, started giving Divas more screen time and longer matches - we even had a huge celebration.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.
I struggled a bit with Malayalam, but it was easier speaking Tamil; it is closer to Telugu.
But I've always admired Tamil and Malayalam films, and language isn't a barrier for me.
I am open to working in all southern language - Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
I have sung some songs in Telugu and Malayalam. And I want to sing in Tamil, too.
I am more comfortable working in Tamil films rather than in Malayalam.
