Thanks to Cheran, I play a city girl in 'Mayakkannadi.' I appear in trendy costumes and have more scope to perform.
It's not that I don't want to do commercial films, but if my part is just to look pretty, I'm not up for it. I'd do a role that expresses something. It's not that I don't want to look good, but give me a part where I have scope to perform.
I don't want to be a glamour doll. I want roles which provide me the scope to perform.
I think in more ways than one 'Uyir' did a lot good, getting the scope to perform. Things have really fallen in place since then. Breaking free of the shackles has given me the rich option to choose and pick from the range of characters coming my way.
I agree that when you sing for Bollywood, the reach is bigger. But I don't want to concentrate on any industry in particular.
I want people to believe that I can pull off more than one or two types of genres or characters.
I am doing films that are content-oriented and where I have the scope to perform. Rarely do such scripts happen.
I am not concentrating on any industry but just taking up good offers, which gives me scope to perform.
