Priya, who delivered a hit through her debut movie
Kanda Naal Mudhal, talks exclusively to Behindwoods,
just before the release of her next, much anticipated
movie, Kannaamoochi enadaa.
•
Behindwoods
congratulates you on the completion of your second
project
Thank You!
•
What is Kannaamoochi enadaa
(KMY) about? How has it shaped up?
I
am definitely not going to reveal the premise of the
movie, however, all I can say is that it is about
the different masks we wear in our lives. We
|
|
|
try
to hide our true self often and this is what we have attempted
to portray in this movie.
• Radhika was the
producer of this film and she plays a vital role too. How
was it handling her as a producer vis-à-vis an actor?
Radhika is the creative head of Radaan, so she had the experience
to spot when something went wrong. She would impart her views
on certain scenes, we may disagree, but at the end we found
that she was always right. We rather agreed to disagree and
sometimes disagree to disagree, kind of funny situation.As
an actress, I didn’t have to handle her; she handled
herself with élan. |

Your debut venture for
Duet films Kanda Naal Mudhal (KNM) was a huge success
and now you are a name to reckon with in the genre
of feel-good cinema. Do you intend to return a favor
to Duet films by teaming up with them in the future?
Duet Films is my home turf and Prakash Raj is my godfather
with whom I share a great rapport. I wanted to grow
out of my home and try out things for myself. Also
staying at Duet would have made me complacent. As
for returning a favor, I guess Duet is a very big
banner now doing almost 5 films and they are already
pepped up. I don’t need to do anything in that
front. However, I will be doing a film for them in
the near future.

KNM was a feel good love
story while KMY also seems to give a similar feel
to b’woods readers from the promos. Is it a
genre you opt for as a safe bet at the box-office
or is it something you are comfortable with. Also
do you think films have to fall under any genre or
is it just a critic’s classification?
|
|
| True
this one is also a feel good story; I don’t see that
from the box-office perspective. I am a fun loving person
myself, I personally like watching movies which the audience
exit the theatres with a smile and those are the kind of movies
I feel good making too. I don’t think movies need to
fall under any specific genre; they are just stories being
narrated and may have all elements from different genres in
it.
•
Earlier there were reports that
Madhavan and Surya were going to star in KMY. How much truth
is there to this?
It is true that I spoke to Madhavan and Surya on two separate
occasions, but they were for other scripts I had in mind at
that point in time. I still share a good relationship with
them in spite of them expressing their inability to accept
those projects. I can understand their constraints and restrictions.
•
Reasons behind picking Prithviraj?
Prithviraj was one actor I had in mind when I decided on the
project and he readily accepted the role. More so knowing
he would be handle playing opposite a senior actor like Sathyaraj
with ease as he doesn't come with any baggage; he had no ego
hassles.
|
•
There was a kissing scene
between Sathyaraj and Prithiviraj in the promos that
were released. What was that about?
Not exactly, but there is a comedy sequence
on similar lines for which you will have to wait till
the movie releases.
•
Your combo with Yuvan seems
to work very well but considering that you have worked
with Rahman during your tenure as Mani Ratnam’s
assistant, do we see you getting together any time
in the future?
My relationship with Rahman was as an assistant director
to Mani sir and he always looked at me that way and
I still look at him from below. As for my relationship
with Yuvan, it has been very productive and we have
grown together and I don’t see any reason why
I should look for someone else unless there comes
a time when Yuvan is unavailable.
