An interview with the Ramakrishna heroine Sri Devika,

Please tell us about your native and about your family?

I come from Palghat, Kerala. My father is sethumadhavan, my mother shoba and my sister Sri Vidhya is a lecturer.


What is your qualification?

I was studying B.A (English Literature), but due to my tight shooting schedules, I could not concentrate in my studies. Right now I’m continuing my studies in correspondence. My dream is to do a doctorate in English literature. When I find some spare time in the shooting spots, I study literature oriented books.

How did you get your chance in Tamil cinema?

While I was studying my B.A, I didn’t have any idea to become an actress. But fate had its way, I was selected a best model in a beauty pageant, and my photos came in all magazines. Mr.Pazani kumar from Sivasakthi movies called me and booked me for the film Ramakrishana. At first I was a little confused whether to change my career or not, but later I decided what I wanted to be. That’s how I got into the Tamil cinema.


How was your experience in your first Tamil movie Ramakrishna?

In my first Tamil film, I was the director’s child. I did what the director told me to do. All the credits go tot him. Later my friends and relatives told me that I’ve acted well in the movie. It was a happy moment then.


What are the film’s you have been booked currently?

I’m acting in the film by name “Anthanaal Nyabagam”. The film is produced by a film concern called Senthamizh Kalaikoodam, and directed by Mani Bharathi. Ramana stars as the hero of the film. Apart from this, I’m also acing in a film called “Anbe Vaa” directed by Selvabharathy. Offers are also coming from the Malayalam and the Telugu film industries.


Will you be one of the glam dolls in town?

There is always a limitation for glamour. If it happened to be a modern girl character, then I will surely act in that character, but I will not cross my glamour limit.
