I was really looking forward to the release of 'Villain.' I put in a lot of hard work, and I am glad people are noticing basic things - like how I synced perfectly with the Malayalam dialogues or that I came across as a Malayalam girl - makes me feel wonderful.
Malayalam industry is pretty awesome, and I will definitely do a movie in Malayalam. There are some great directors over there.

I will like to work with the best of the actors in Malayalam someday in future.
After all my hard work, I ventured into Bollywood with 'Traffic,' which is a remake of a Malayalam movie.
The biggest challenge Malayalam cinema faces is territorial. We operate within a small territory in Kerala, and the Malayalam diaspora across the world in comparative terms is quite small. But we have world-class talent in terms of technicians, actors, and writers.
I am quite content with my work in Malayalam cinema, and so there was never any reason to look outside for opportunities.
Happiness is a critical factor for work, and work is a critical factor for happiness. In one of those life-isn't-fair results, it turns out that the happy outperform the less happy. Happy people work more hours each week - and they work more in their free time, too.
