'I WAS LITERALLY RELUCTANT TO TAKE UP SUCH OFFERS'

Actress Simran is an undisputed reigning queen of Tamil cinema, she was sensation during her peak in the late 90s and early 2000s. Many still label her as their favourite heroine despite many arrivals in K-Town.

Accomplishing such a feat of the mark through her works, could anyone would have envisaged that Simran would be seen in a role with negative shades. “So was my mindset, when I was initially approached by Ponram sir for playing a negative role in Seemaraja. I was literally reluctant to take up such offers, but it happened that Ponram was patient enough to wait for my time to narrate the script. Once, I got to hear the script and how my character has been shaped rhetorically, my decisions abruptly changed and I got onboard for this film.”

So what happened to the cynosure of her eyes while working on this film? “I would say, the entire team itself. Seemaraja gave me an opportunity to work with people of golden hearts. Everyone in the cast and crew worked with so much dedication just as a family. Having worked with many teams over the years, I felt so much positivity prevailing among them. Especially, for a director-actor duo that has already delivered a couple of decent hits, there are chances, where they might take audiences for granted. But Sivakarthikeyan, Ponram and everyone in the team were so much concerned about offering the audience, some best than their previous works,” says Simran.
