WATCH OUT TINSEL TOWN! A BOMB ARRIVES!

If there is a frame where 10 actors are performing, we are sure to identify the one with a solid theatre background because such is the quality of work and method acting that they deploy in their performance.

Pooja Devariya is one such name who is sure to impress the audience with the promising projects in her kitty. Next year by this time, Pooja might be one of the most sought after heroines because such is the kind of characters she is waiting to showcase to our ever-welcoming audience. This talented young lady, already popular in YouTube, engages with me in a conversation. Read on to discover her career plans..

Kutrame Thandanai

"Director Manikandan and Vidharth met me after my performance at a theatre festival. They were quite impressed with me. Manikandan told me that he will call me and would love to work along. I thought it was just a formal statement and did not take it very seriously. But the very next day, I got a call from his office and I was on board the very same day. JACKPOT! It was quite an interesting script with the potential to give me the break that I was seeking for. "

The impact of Kaaka Muttai

"I was working on Kutrame Thandanai when Kaaka Muttai was in its post-production phase. It was slowly gearing up to attract the attention of the film festival crowd and also went on to bag the National award. That's when I realized the value of the filmmaker, I was associated with. Now, hands down, Kaaka Muttai is a winner and I am extremely happy for the team."

Kutrame Thandanai and the theatrical release plan… 

"We are premiering at an International film festival this November and the movie is selected to be screened at various other film festivals. So the scheme looks similar to that of Kaaka Muttai. Hoping that a similar degree of success and acceptance happens to this film too."

Pooja Devariya the heroine… 

"I play a middle class girl with a deglamorized outlook in Kutrame Thandanai whereas in Karthik Subburaj’s Iraivi, you will spot me as one of the three leads with a very bold character sketch. I am paired up with Bobby Simha in this movie and only because of Iravi, I ended up getting a role in Vallavanukkum Vallavan also, where I once again pair with Bobby Simha. Three movies with three varied shades of character, I am enthused! "

Personal note… 

"I always want to be remembered as an actress with a strong theatre background and I am also conscious about not getting typecasted. I always want to explore and entertain."

Wish you luck Pooja. Cheers to this actress with such clarity, perseverance and big dreams!
