‘I have no problem to act with new heroes’: Priyamani

August 5, 2010

The gorgeous dusky beauty Priyamani who is ruling both tollywood and kollywood had also proved herself in Hindi with recently released Maniratnam’s ‘Raavanan’.The actress says that she has no problem to act with new heroes and she is ready to pair up with them even.

Speaking about her upcoming projects as well as false rumors milling around her, Priyamani says “I wanted very much to act in a Mani Ratnam film. He gave me a small role in ‘Ravanan.’ My wish was fulfilled through this film. I’m now getting some Hindi film offers because of ‘Ravanan.’ I’ve been so busy these last few years that I’ve had no rest at all. I just had some free time and took a holiday in America with my family.

There was some news about my acting with Salman Khan. That’s false information. Another rumour that Priyadarshan replaced me with Kangana Ranaut is also false.

I am presently acting in Hindi film ‘Raktacharitra.’ If the story is really good, I have no problem in acting opposite newcomer heroes.” [WaY]

Naturally, the actress should have got herself annoyed performing the same roles over and again. But guess what? Only such roles have been getting her good reviews and first it was Ameer’s ‘Paruthiveeran’ and now Manirathnam’s ‘Raavanan’.

In both the versions, she plays the role of a girl being assaulted in groups. In similarity, her culmination in ‘Paruthiveeran’ was the same and the actress is literally discombobulated with repeated acts. She is vexed about the fact that she is being addressed as in a unique way. But what to do, the actress cannot ask for the entire delineation of her role in ‘Raavanan’.

The actress has decided not to get on for such roles in mere future. (KT)

Will Priyamani's hard work pay off?

Actress Priyamani's dream of working with ManiRatnam has finally come true with the movie Villain, the dubbed version of Raavanan. Though she has a small role to play in the film, none can deny the fact that every characters, irrespective of the length, will have its own values in Mani Ratnam films.

The actress may not have played the lead role in the film. But she has a challenging job of doing justice for all the three versions of the film. She had to change her costumes every now and then from half sari to ghagra choli during the shooting for each versions.

She has learned a good lesson after missing out a few awards for not dubbing her voice. This time, she has dubbed her own voice for Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions. Having grabbed a role in another trilingual film Rakta Charitra this skill might come in handy.

Well, we wish Priyamani all the best for her career ahead and hope her hard work will pay off. (OI)

Movie Raavanan, which has Tamil actor Vikram in the lead role, is directed by Manirathnam and scheduled to be released simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu languages on the 18th of this month. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyamani are also in the cast, which is an exception too.

Vikram, while speaking about acting in the film said, “I am really lucky to act in a Manirathnam’s film. This film has been produced in Tamil and Hindi languages. It was a great challenge for me to act in two different kinds of roles one for each version. Manirathnam, who had great confidence in my acting, made me act in both these roles.”

“People those who watched this film during the screening in the Cannes Film Festival were stunned seeing me do two different kinds of roles. No actor has so far done it. This was a real thrill for me. I am donning a tough village guy in the Tamil version while in Hindi I am donning the role of a police officer. Manirathnam has made me dub in Hindi. I don’t know Hindi. Because of this I found it very difficult. I think I will get the National Award once aging for acting in Raavanan though I don’t act for awards.

I will always act with the intention of satisfying my fans and audience. I will be happy if I get the awards. But Manirathnam will grab lot of awards for this film. Technicians will also get the awards. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have acted magnificently too. I am getting a lot of offers in Hindi even before the release of Raavan. I will act in Hindi films only if I get a good story but my priority will be Tamil films.” (OI)

What made Priyamani emotional?

What made Priyamani emotional?

The glamorous actress Priyamani has become strong-minded to dub for her films from now. This strong decision was taken as she recently missed a Kerala State Award for the film ‘Thirakkatha’ because she has not dubbed herself for the film even with an unbelievable performance. So, she decided not to take any more chances.

In recent times, Priyamani was dubbing for herself for both the Hindi and Tamil versions of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus bilingual film ‘Raavan’. All the things are going fine as she knows the languages well.

Priya says that there was an emotional scene which has to be dubbed with deep modulations. For that scene, director asked her to do the Tamil version first followed by Hindi as she knows the feel better in Hindi. Sources say that as soon as the dubbing started for that typical emotional scene, she became so emotional and finally she broke down in to tears.

Priya says, the scene was so heart touching and she was practically merged with the scene. The film ‘Raavan’ is going to be a milestone project in her career. [WaY]
