I could not resist the opportunity to gift this young achiever copies of my two books. ‘Acting with Johnny Depp.’ I don’t see why not. No in fact I know they do, what with a new breed of directors like Mohana Krishna coming up with great stories that treat women actors well.Īt ease and with her feet up, Padmapriya revealed that she has definite plans for her future where she foresees a career in Public Administration sometime (which she emphasizes as something she is good at) apart from furthering her acting forays. ‘I don’t know if the industry wants female actors who can act,’ she says. Unfortunately she has done only two movies in Telugu and she said she was doing another one now.
In the Telugu screen, apart from Swati, whom I rate highly for her skills as a versatile actor, I felt Padmapriya was certainly one to watch out for. To me she was the best part of the movie and I wondered what happened to her later. Padmapriya looked good, was fresh, acted spontaneously and highl competently and had a definite presence in the movie (which Shobha and I saw together and discussed her role specially). It took me a minute to figure out that she was the same and then it all fell in place. In short, this young woman has seen it all.įortunately I have seen her work in the movie ‘Andari Bandhuvaiah’ which was directed by my friend Chandra Siddharth and also had another friend RK acting in it. She has been directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan, has made her Hinid film debut in ‘Striker’ opposite Siddharth and has won awards ranging from the National Award for Pazhassi Raja to Filmfare awards, State Film Awards in Tamil and Malayalam films, Asianet awards. She starred in some of the biggest grossing Tamil and Malayalam movies (her comedy with Mammootty, ‘Rajamanikyam’ is considered one of the highest grossers in Malayalam cinema) as well, is commercially and critically acclaimed. A sexually exploited sister of a blind man, a mother of three children and a victim of the Gujarat earthquake (opposite Mammootty), a college girl, a salesgirl, a street beggar, a helpless wife kidnapped by an alcoholic former husband, a street prostitute and a tomboyish wife – to mention some is a huge variety of roles. For someone who had made her debut in 2003 with a Telugu film ‘Seenu Vasanthi Lakshmi’, Padmapriya has essayed some difficult roles.
