ACTRESS SRI DIVYA INTERVIEW

I am so grateful to Tamil audiences for accepting me.  Doing ‘girl next door’ type of roles has also helped me to a large extent. My on screen characters, be it 'Latha Pandi' or 'Gayathri' have been roles that are easily relatable to people. I am also indebted to my directors for giving me such lovely roles.

I don’t talk much with my co-stars, but when you’re acting, you need to give your 100%. At that place, I consider myself as 'Latha Pandi' or 'Gayathri' and not Sri Divya. The script also plays a huge role and most importantly, chemistry will work only when your partner also performs equally well. So I need to thank all my co-star as well for that.

In the case of Eetti, it is not chemistry but Biology (a term used in Eetti). That is the catch phrase commonly used by the audience post Eetti’s release. I am happy that my love portions with Atharvaa has been so raved and discussed about.

I keep getting a lot of offers but I am a little choosy. I take up a project based on the importance of my role; that would be my topmost priority. I will not be doing roles that do not have any prominence. The banner, hero and director are also important, but those criteria come only later.

There is so much effort that has gone into this project. We were so anxious to know the outcome of the project and now that the audiences have accepted it, it feels so nice.

It is director Ravi Arasu’s debut film; he is someone who deserves to do well. He is a very talented director. Wish he makes plenty more successful films in the future.

I did not get a chance to watch the final outcome of the film until two days back. Since I had busy working schedules, I couldn’t watch it even during the post-production phase. But when I watched the film, it was so engrossing and I was so upbeat about it, especially when I saw the audience enjoying it so whole-heartedly.

I generally look for reviews of my films, specifically in Behindwoods. I always glance down to the bottom of the page below the rating, where the people comment about the film. The comments that I usually see there would be - Worst, bad, don’t go for it. But for the first time I couldn’t find one single negative comment while reading Eetti’s review in Behindwoods. That is the acceptance this film has garnered.

I am not so very keen in doing the same role again, but it all depends upon on the banner and the director.

I am a part of one of my favorite teams. We have just started the project but the team has already gelled like a family. Vishal is a very sweet person; he talks in Telugu just to keep me comfortable. Director Muthaiah is one of the best persons that I have seen in my life till date. He is such a gem of a person. And it is the fourth time I am collaborating with Soori sir. He is a frisky person who keeps the set lively all the time.

Bangalore Days remake, Kashmora with Karthi and Vishal’s Marudhu are the films that I am working on right now.
