Actress Priyamani has been a regular presence among Keralites the past year, thanks to her stint as a jury member for dance reality show D2-D4 Dance.
However, it has been a long time since we saw her on the big screen. She will soon be back to Mollywood with her new Malayalam project Silent Radio all geared up for shoot.
“I’m working with Asif Ali for the first time and the shoot of the film is scheduled for February,” says Priyamani.
“Apart from that, the shoot of D3 will also start in March. Nowadays, television has taken over big time and I’m really enjoying my stints there. I have even signed up as a judge for a Tamil dance reality show which will start soon,” says the actress.
Since she has not been very active in Malayalam recently, rumours have been rife about her losing currency as many of her recent projects bombed at the box office.
In fact, many even suggested that Prakash Raj had offered her a role in his Kannada directorial to help her get back in the game.
the actress rubbishes the claims. “I don’t know where these rumours come from. Every second or third day I’m getting calls from people with new projects, asking me to listen to stories. But I don’t want to do just any other project. There should be some zing to it; something new.
"Basically, I should feel at the end of the day that I am doing something worthwhile. Until now, I haven’t been offered any roles without substance and most come to me saying they have a ‘performance-oriented role’".
"If people have to come to me with such roles, then there must be some trust they have in my skills, right,” she asks.
Ask her about her dream role and pat comes the reply, “Comedy! I want to do a full on comedy, like Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal series.”
