`Pachapananthatha' flying high
BUDDING STAR Samvritha Sunil
True to her on screen image, Samvritha Sunil is the pretty girl next door, off the hullabaloo of the film sets. She has never really been in a hurry to grab the offers that come her way and has chosen the kind of films that she feels, suit her.
Close on the heels of Lal Jose's `Achanurangatha Veedu', "which has brought in the kind of appreciation that is just mind blowing," she has completed two more films in Malayalam - Sasi Paravoor's `Nottam' and Priyanandanan's `Pulijanmam'. And she is wrapping up `Uyir', `a matured love story', which incidentally is her maiden venture in Tamil, with Srikanth as the hero.
And for now, Samvritha has taken a break from the reel world and is neck-deep in studies as her exams will go on until early April.
Samvritha's entry into films happened with `Rasikan'. Though the film didn't create ripples at the box office, luckily for her, Samvritha was noted. `Nerariyan CBI' and `Chandrolsavam' were to follow.
Well, she seems to have hit it off really well with the offbeat filmmakers. Samvritha flashes a pearly grin in reply, "Perhaps my latest films could have given such an impression. I have been receiving quite a number of offers from the so-called art filmmakers of late. I have no complaints though. I am on the look out for meaningful roles anywhere."
Samvritha feels happy having featured in the `Pachappanamthathe... ' song in `Nottam', which is perhaps the flavour of the season. "The story is being narrated in the backdrop of Koodiyattom. My character is that of a girl who is all set to join the MBBS course," she says.
She has a guest role in `Pulijanmam'. "It's very different from my usual `goody-goody' image. My character is quite unlike the others in the film, for whom Theyyam is their life."
`Uyir' was shot in Ooty. "It's not another chocolate love story," is what Samvritha feels about the film. She has more offers from Tamil, but she has set certain conditions on the kind of roles that she will accept.
On the academic front, Samvritha is doing her second year BA (Communicative English) in St.Teresa's College, Ernakulam, and on her own account is a "normal college going student, who is trying extra hard to make good the hours that she missed in the class." Advertising is what excites her and she hopes to have a career in that business. Dreams, real and reel, can wait for now. It's exam season for her.
