Priyamani
recalls that she was excited when Mani Ratnam
called her to his office to narrate the storyline
of Raavan and her role in it. When the director
offered the role to her, all that he wanted
to know was how good her Hindi was. When Priyamani
replied it was quite good, the director called
one of his assistants to converse with her in
Hindi to test her linguistic skills. Satisfied
with the accent, Mani offered the role, she
gushes.
Interestingly, Priyamani also bagged another
Bollywood offer soon after this. It is the Ram
Gopal Varma’s Raktha Charithra. |
