Some actors act so naturally that it becomes difficult to ascertain where the character ends and the person begins. One such actor is Revathi. She started acting in the early ’80s and after making a mark in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films, she segued into direction in 2002, with Mitr, My Friend, which won her a National Award for Best Feature Film in English. Her other directorial efforts include Phir Milenge (2004), Makal segment in Malayalam film Kerala Cafe (2009), Parcel segment in Mumbai Cutting (2010) and the recently released Salaam Venky. She talks about her career choices and more in a candid interview. Excerpts:
What was the message that you wanted to give through Salaam Venky?
Live life to the fullest. Always create happiness for your family and friends. Happiness is simple, but for some people it is really difficult. Salaam Venky is basically the story of a mother and son. The mother is trying to make her son’s life worth every minute. I think the way she did it, as well as her son’s spirit to live life to the fullest, really resonated with me.
Was Kajol your first choice for Salaam Venky? How did you connect with her?
