"Kamal and not Nayan"

The latest addition to Kamal Haasan’s Unnai Pol Oruvan is Anuja Iyer. The actress played the lead roles in M3V and Sivi. In a recent interview to a Tamil magazine, Anuja said that she was selected to play an important role in Unnai Pol Oruvan by Kamal Haasan after seeing her performance in her earlier ventures. The actress also states that Kamal was impressed with her proficiency in Tamil language and thought she would do justice to the role. Anuja clarifies that being a native of Thanjavur she can speak the language well.

For what we hear from Anuja, it is clear that she will be playing a reporter in Unnai Pol Oruvan. It is worth mentioning here that this character was prominent in the original version 'A Wednesday'. When asked if she would prefer to reach the top spot like Nayanthara or Trisha, the actress said that she aimed as high as Kamal!
