Known as the thinking actress, Rohini wears multiple hats in the industry. She has not only excelled in front of the camera but has also shown that she can be the master of words in films like Pachaikili Muthucharam and Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathilae. She also lends her voice for many actresses.

After all these, Rohini will be venturing into direction as well with Appavin Meesai. This interestingly titled film will feature Nassar, Nithya Menon, Pasupathy along with the National Award winning actor Saleem Kumar.

While on the topic of the paucity of women directors in the industry, Rohini says that women can only handle films that are emotionally rich. She also adds, “I can very definitely not do a film like Thuppakki although I liked it very much”. She wonders how directors like K Balachander and Balu Mahendra did films that exactly echoed women sentiments.

Appavin Meesai also has master technical wizards like Alphonse Roy behind the camera and Resul Pookutty as the Sound Engineer.
