Explain your journey as an actress:
It’s been a rollercoaster ride. Lots of ups and downs. I’ve played a lot of different roles now and people have accepted me. In Telegu I’m noted for the glamourous roles, in Tamil it’s a bit of a flick. So each set of audience will have a different judgement about me.
 

What can be expected of this film?
It’s a suspense genre with a lot of twists and turns. In this film I play the role of a person suffering from memory loss. It’s the first film for me where I get to perform a lot.
 

How was your relationship with your co-stars Nakul and Premji?
It was a lot of fun. Nakul is a very energetic person. Premji and I are close friends and I admire him as a personality.
 

One actor/director whose project you wish to be part of?
I’ve always wanted to work with Dhanush. I’ve watched all his films and I admire him. When you’re talking about director, I’ve always had this wish to be a part of Mani Ratnam’s films.
 

One movie you watched recently and wished you were part of?
Anegan.
