The actress, who will now feature in the sequel Drishyam 2, helmed by Abhishek Pathak, also starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Akshaya Khanna, elaborates on her experience of working with Ajay Devgn, how she still believes in TV as a medium and the kind of offers she wants to take on going ahead.
You have been a part of films and TV shows, but you are best remembered for your stint in Drishyam. How did the film change the course of your career?
The first instalment of Drishyam was my first Hindi film. I was quite young then and had just done one TV show (Ek Ghar Banaunga). The film opened many doors for me, and people recognised me as an actor because of it. I am glad that I bagged the film because it changed a lot for me as an artiste. I had not seen the Malayalam version of the film while shooting for it. In fact, my director (Nishikant Kamat) told me not to watch it because they wanted me to bring my own take on the character. While people do recognise me for my characters in TV shows, Drishyam has earned pan-India recognition. No matter what they say about TV and the web, films have a different feel to them, in terms of how the audience perceives you. I am very happy with the journey so far and I hope it continues.
Anju, the character that you play in both the instalments of Drishyam, is an integral part of the story. How much has it progressed between both the films?
