What are the feedbacks that you are getting on Sura?
Well, Honestly, I never do a post-mortem of my films after the release. I am open to criticism and I take each and every feedback-good or bad in the right sense.
Where did you watch the film?
I watched it on the opening day along with audiences in PVR, Mumbai.
They say you had nothing to do and was just the glamour quotient in the film. Please comment?
I have never planned my career. Everything happened for the good. As a heroine, I can’t afford to be selective and Indian cinema is mainly male-dominated. Unlike Hollywood where scripts are written for heroines, here we just play second fiddle to heroes. And I don’t see anything wrong in it as all top actresses at one point of their career has done the same. As far as Sura goes, it was a pleasant experience for me. Vijay was very sweet. I enjoyed working with the entire unit.
How was it working with Vijay?
I was very excited to be a part of a Vijay film and was looking forward to dancing with him. It’s a pleasure to watch how gracefully and effortlessly he dances. I admire his cool and professional ways.
Were you able to relate to the character of Poornima that you played in the film?
(Smiles) No, I am not so stupid in real life to contemplate suicide if I lost my dog. It is a fantasy character who is unrealistic and funny. I had a blast in the comedy scenes with Vadivel. He used to give me valuable tips and I used to converse with him in my broken Tamil and sign language.
Do you think that you wore a bit too revealing costumes?
No, I have certain parameters when it comes to my costumes. I will only wear clothes, in which I am comfortable. The idea was indeed to look glamorous and Priya Manikandan my costume designer has done a good job. Please remember that even in Kedi till Ayan I have worn glamorous outfits in songs.
You are crowned as the numero uno actress in Kollywood today, after the super success of Paiyaa . Please comment
I am happy to hear that. But frankly, I am not a competitive person at all. I believe in my work speaking for myself. This entire talk of number one or five does not bother me. What really matters is that over a period of time, has your work being appreciated or not? I am always trying to better my performance and learn from mistakes.
So you don’t watch movies of other stars?
Oh yes, I do whenever I get time. Trisha was fantastic in Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya while Kajal Aggarwal was very good in the recent Telugu film Darling.
Are you a fun-loving person?
I am like any other 20-year old girl. When I am not shooting and is in Mumbai I go out for movies, malls and restaurants with my bunch of friends and have a ball.
What would you credit your success to besides God and destiny?
My hard work. I never give up (smiles)
