While she would be much more comfortable in Mumbai discos and Kolkata chaat shops, Tamil filmmakers seem to think otherwise. A village lass in her first film Karuppuswamy Kuthagaitharar, she seems to be getting many more such roles. Meenakshi is currently busy doing films like Perumaal, Rajathi Raja and TN 07 AL 4777. While she plays a village girl in the former, it’s a modern one (“an extrovert, party-going character”) in the latter.
“I relate more to modern characters and wish that I’m given more such roles,” she says. “While I enjoy village-based characters, I would like to experiment more with urban-based roles.”
Having been cast as a village girl, has she ever visited villages? “My grandparents used to live in a village near Kolkata… I love visiting that place!” The actress has a background in theatre and is sure that the experience would help her perform better in Kollywood. “I’ll surely not do a bikini act but am open to glamour roles,” she adds. A trained Bharatnatyan dancer, Meenakshi feels that she is comfortable with dance numbers too. Ask her if she’s interested in doing item numbers and she grins. “Nothing now,” she smiles, “Probably after I’m an established name in the industry!” Now, that’s quite an item!

After giving an avarage success with Pandi, producer Hitesh Jabak has booked Raghava Lawrence again for his next project. Pandi had Lawrence and Sneha in the lead with Saranya and Nasser playing supporting characters. Now, their new venture together will be directed by Pon Raman, who was an assistant to director KS Ravikumar.
The Nemichand Jabak production house is curiously searching for other artistes and technicians for the film, which is yet to be named.
Raghava Lawrence is now busy with director Shakthi Chidambaram’s production titled Rajathi Raja.
The dancer-turned-actor got tremendous response when he played the lead role in Pandi, which probably made him tie up with Hitesh Jabak again. Source: timesofindia.indiatimes.com
