‘Heroic’ act by Lakshmi Priyaa

Former Tamil Nadu women’s cricketer turned actress, Lakshmi Priyaa is currently working in Kallappadam portraying a crucial role. Her involvement supposedly demanded the usually fit starlet to gain weight and Lakshmi Priyaa too showcased commitment to her profession by gobbling up sweets at will to fit into the character’s demands in just a matter of days.

Soon thereafter, the director J.Vadivel, instructed the young lass to lose weight for a different segment of the script and the actress then too readily obliged and showed immediate results displaying her focus and endurance towards fitness. Astonished by her involvement, the crew of Kallappadam likened her commitment to something that only lead heroes have done so far and have been in praise of Lakshmi Priyaa’s efforts.

Offering her take on this film, Lakshmi Priyaa said, “My role is a well defined and powerful character .I play a role which is emotionally very strong, which is usually related to the male characters. It is indeed a pride playing such role in the earlier stage of my life, as I always mould myself on the lines of my role model Nandita Das. I aspire to be known as an actress of acting substance than being referred as a star.”
