Niveda will not sign up for sister roles agai

Malayalam movie actress Niveda Thomas is delighted as she would be hitting the silver screen during Pongal, where she would be enacting the role of Mohanlal’s daughter and Vijay’s sister in the movie 'Jilla' which sees both the veteran actors, superstar Mohanlal and Ilaya Dalapathi Vijay sharing screen- space. Niveda acted as 14 year old Anjana in her debutant appearance in the movie ‘Veruthe Oru Bharya’. She excelled in her roles in the movies that followed, ‘Chappa Kurishu’ and ‘Romans’. Niveda spoke to Manorama online about her new movie ‘Jilla’, leaving behind the childishness of the fourteen year old as we have seen earlier.

About your character in ‘Jilla’

My character in Jilla is called ‘Mahalekshmi’. I appear as Mohanlal’s daughter in the movie. I have two elder brothers in it; those roles are handled by Vijay and Mahat Raghavendra. Mahalakshmi is a college student who has her own views and opinions about everything. She is more close to her father. Jilla portrays the relationship between a father, son and daughter.

How were you casted for the role in Jilla?

Director R T Nesan contacted me after watching my performance in the Tamil movie ‘Porali’. I felt that it was a good character when I heard the story line. Normally in Tamil movies, the sister role would always be an insignificant character. But this role was not like that. It was a character with lot of scope for acting. That is the reason why I chose to do it. Moreover, I consider myself really lucky to have received a chance to act as Lalettan’s daughter.

About Lalettan and Vijay

Vijay is reticent. Most of the times, he prefers to keep silent. Lalettan is not like that. He speaks to me well. We both used to talk in Malayalam and then Vijay would look at us. Then we would switch on to Tamil. As in movie, Lalettan considers me as a daughter in real life also. Although I acted in the movie ‘Pranayam’, I did not have any combination scene with Lalettan in it. This movie compensates for that complaint. Lalettan is a very good painter. He had shown me several of his paintings. Since I do my course in architecture, he explains painting to me. I had drawn and given him a portrait of Lalettan. The seven month long shooting period was really terrific.

Don’t you think that undertaking this sister character while you excel as a heroine would affect your image?

I signed up for this project after a lot of thinking. The Tamil movie ‘Naveena Saraswathi Shapadam’ in which I play the centre character is due to be released soon. Jay is my hero in it. So, taking up a sister role in the next movie needed a lot of thinking. The one thing which attracted me most to it was acting as Lalettan’s daughter; it is not something that everyone gets. And, my character in it was also good. That is the reason why I took up that role. I will not be taking up any sister characters in future.

Does that mean that you will act only as heroine hereafter?

Definitely, yes. No change in it. Jilla would be the last movie in which I will be seen in a sister role. I had decided this at the time of agreeing to this project itself. Whether in Malayalam or Tamil, I will only undertake heroine roles.
