“I WAS REPLACED IN SIX FILMS..” - VIDYA PRADEEP’S SHOCKING EXPERIENCE!

Her post read “Before Thadam, there was a phase in my life when I had to walk out or replaced in six projects which I had signed, one after the other for very unprofessional reasons. I was heartbroken. Then I thought might be movie is not my cup of tea and just started focusing on my studies.”

“Sruthi called around midnight and insisted that I meet the director next day for audition. This time I reached the movie office without any expectations. Then I met Magizh sir. He mentioned that they were auditioning for the last few months because it is an intense character and this character is the core of the movie. Sir appreciated that my eyes are very powerful. The team didn’t confirm me but after speaking to Magizh sir for a brief time about the character I had a positive intuition. Then after the look test I was confirmed for the role.”

“Magizh sir was very kind and extremely professional. Sir used to encourage me after every good shot saying that “you are magic”. Sir knows how to bring the best out of an actor with affection and respect.”

“Thadam restored my faith in the system of movie making . This also gave me a hope that you can still survive in the industry with your talent alone. There exists good film makers who look only for talent in an artist. But self made actors like me who don’t have a Godfather or recommendations or anybody to refer, should be prepared to face extreme hardships. You could be avoided, ignored or not even considered as an artist certain times because you don't follow the ‘norms’.”

“But that’s okay you can still survive if you believe in yourself and willing to work hard. At the end of the day you can be super proud of your smallest achievements because you earned that all by yourself because nothing was given free or in return. Also there is nothing more precious than living a life true to your conscience.”

Vidya also thanked her co stars Arun Vijay, Tanya Hope and Smruthi Venkat, along with the technicians of the movie. On the work front, Vidya Pradeep is currently working  in the films ‘Asurakulam’ and ‘Othaikku Othai’, along with the biggie ‘Thalaivi’, where she will be playing a crucial role. She also played a small cameo in Jyotika’s recent courtroom drama ‘Ponmagal Vandhal’.
