In 'Aarathu Sinam', I play a wife and mother. It's a very homely character, quite contrary to what I've done so far.
In Chennai, we have the beach for entertainment, but in places like Trichy, Salem, and Coimbatore, movies are the only entertainment.
When I travel in Tamil Nadu for shooting, I make it a point to eat at roadside eateries and drink tea/coffee at a tea stall.
I was not wary of playing a mother on screen but wasn't sure if I could do justice to it. Would I be able to showcase that kind of overpowering love without being a 'real' mother?
My mother tongue is Telugu. I was born and brought up in Tamil Nadu.
I firmly believe the industry does not let down performers.
