Shirin Kanchwala to play TV reporter
Actress Shirin Kanchwala’s forthcoming film has been garnering interest since its launch, thanks to the film’s producer Siva Karthikeyan. The actress has been paired opposite Rio Raj, a popular television actor and video jockey in the Tamil entertainment industry.
Shirin, who made her Kannada debut with Viraaj, will be seen playing the role of a TV reporter in the action drama, which has been directed by Karthik Venugopalan.
Talking about her role, the Mumbai actress says, “I play a serious TV reporter in the film. The director shared several real-world references with me in order to help me understand better how TV reporters conduct themselves. Even Siva Karthikeyan sir encouraged me a great deal, and I don’t think that I could have pulled it off without his support.”
The actress further said that she has now got a hang of the Tamil language to the extent that she can, in all probability, strike a conversation in Tamil if required. “I was given the script and my lines well in advance, so I had enough time to understand the language. My team helped me with the lines, and it was a liberating experience,” says the actress.
