Actress Shobana, who was a part of Magalir Mattum, was seen playing the younger version of actress Bhanupriya in the flashback portion of the film. In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, she talked about her experience with Bramma, Suriya and Jyothika. She said:
“It was a lovely experience working in Magalir Mattum and Bramma’s audition was very different. He asked me to enact Bhanupriya’s song and gave me one week time to portray a character that she played before. Since I did it well, I was chosen to play her younger version.
The first time Jyothika and Suriya spoke to me, they said I am doing a good job with my character. It was a dream for me to get into the film industry right from childhood and I come from a family that gets the girls married at a young age. However, when my family forced me to marry, I tried to commit suicide and eventually I was given freedom to do what I love. I don’t believe in early marriage and I don’t have a boyfriend. But I wouldn’t mind a boyfriend at this age. I like bad boys only.”
After the end of the first few shows of Magalir Mattum yesterday (15th September), the makers broke out the suspense on the big star, who has played a cameo role in the movie.
Madhavan, who is fondly called as, Maddy, has played Jyothika's pair in Magalir Mattum, in a brief cameo. Suriya took to Twitter, a few minutes back, to share his thanks note. He posted, "Here's to my brother Maddy, I am at loss for words can't thank you enough!! I call you to ask something, you sense it even before I mention it and say 'Consider it done...Bro I owe you my gratitude for life. You make friendship beautiful.!!!"
