I don't mind oozing glamour, says Jyothirmayi, who had won critical acclaim for her roles in Kerala.
A quick chat with Jyothirmayi:
How did you enter films?
I was a journalism student. I was interested in modelling. I got an offer to act after a production house saw my advertisement and cast me as heroine in their movie.
On her journey so far in Mollywood?
I have done nearly 12 films in Malayalam. I have acted with the likes of Mammooty, Mohanlal, Jayaram and Biju Menon. Though the number is less, I learnt a lot working in these movies. I learnt professionalism and sincerity working in Mollywood.
On the plethora of Malayalam girls already in Kollywood?
I don't mind about others here. I want to do what is my best. Hope the audience appreciates me if I do well. Being an actress, I have to do what my director demands from me on the screen.
Will you act opposite senior heroes in Tamil?
As I said, an actress should do whatever role she is offered. If requested I will act with senior as well as young heroes in Tamil.
Why you have accepted an item number in Idhaya Thirudan?
It's a big production house (Kavithalaya) and is directed by a popular director like Saran. I hope it would bring me name and fame in Kollywood. I am confident about a good future.
