Actress Athulya Ravi, who is eagerly awaiting the release of her film Yemaali directed by VZ Dhorai is excited about her role which is in contrast to her previous girl next door image. In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, talking about Samuthirakani, her role in Yemaali and also why she accepted to do it, Athulya revealed:

“In Yemaali’s script, my role talked about a girl who faces a break-up and the character was very interesting. What the girl does after the break up was something quite challenging to portray and it was a good learning experience for an upcoming young actor like me. Hence I agreed to do this role which is quite contrasting to my girl next door image. A lot of people were supportive of me and my effort to pull of this character and I am really thankful for the same. Samuthirakani sir is a superb human being and very humble. He is someone who everyone would have massive respect for."
