Actress Priyamani is going great guns. Set to share screen space with some of the biggest names in the Kannada film industry in the coming year, Priyamani says that the roles she is set to don are those that she has not attempted before.
Priyamani will be seen playing a unique character in Prakash Raj’s bilingual directorial in Kannada and Telugu, which is a remake of Malayalam film.
“It’s hard to talk about my role but when Prakash sir narrated the character to me, he said my role was similar to a river and that my character was such that it could easily adapt to any situation. I found that pretty interesting,” she explains.
“The character I play is very unpredictable and there’s a sense of restlessness around her all the time,” she adds. Although the film is a remake, Priyamani says it has been tweaked to suit local sensibilities.
This is also the first time that she will be acting opposite Prakash Raj and confesses that she grabbed the offer only to work with him.
About her rapport with Prakash, Priyamani says, “Most people think he is very reserved but I’ve found him to be extremely approachable and a jovial person. As a director, he guides you well and clearly explains what he wants of the character,” she adds.
Priyamani is also playing a substantial role in Upendra’s movie, ‘Kalpana 2’. “I was really surprised when I got a call from Upendra sir’s office asking me if I wanted to play one of the two characters in ‘Kalpana 2’. I was thrilled because I had just watched ‘Kanchana 2’ and liked the concept,” she explains. This is the first time that she will be working with Upendra in Kannada but she mentions that she has acted with him in a Telugu project before. “Working with Upendra has been interesting because he never forces his views on you but makes suggestions. And I am a director’s actor and always prefer to deliver exactly what the director has in mind for my role,” she says.
She will be seen in the role of a woman aspiring to be a police constable in ‘Dana Kayonu’, a Yogaraj Bhat film. “The project is a perfect blend of comedy and romance. This character does everything she can to be a police constable and in the process, even snubs the man who confesses his love for her. The movie will keep people entertained,” she adds.
Priyamani is looking forward to the new year because all these projects will hit the screens and she’s more than eager to know the audience reaction.
