Mangaluru, 08 Nov 2014: Kannada and Tulu movies actress Padmaja Rao who acted in recent Tulu hit movie - Chaali Polilu as ’Meenakshi’ said that the movie has given her a new perspective as an actress and she has been surprised by the response of the movie lovers.

Addressing the media persons here on Friday November 7, Padmaja Rao said, ‘My first film was as mother for Ravichandran in the movie ‘Hathavadi’ and so far I have been acting as a mother in sandalwood movies. The opportunities become so narrow, particularly for a woman. Meanwhile, in Chaali Polilu I have got a very good role and it gave me a different kind of experience. I would like to try new roles instead of doing the same mother’s role. This movie has created sensation in the state capital also. It is a great successful movie,’ said Padmaja.

 

At last, I have been able to come out of the ’Mother’ brand and explore new chances, added Padmaja.

 

 

Padjmaja was critical of sandalwood movie producers and directors who bring actresses from outside Karnataka to act as heroines despite there being many talented women in Karnataka’s film industry.

‘I have acted in more than 80 movies and in those 60 films the young actresses are called from outside Karnataka who speak no Kannada. I was excited to see the long queue when I had come to view Chaali Polilu, Tulu movie in Jyoti theatre. This is a pure family entertainment,’ said Padmaja.

Speaking on the occasion, Chalipolilu – Tulu movie producer Prakash Pandeshwar said the movie would be released in Bangalore, Mumbai, Sullia, Puttur and Kasargod next week. The movie earned Rs 46 lac in the first week itself. Artistes were good to us, they supported through out the shooting, said Prakash.

Chalipolilu – Tulu movie director Veerendra Shetty Kavoor, co-producer Jagannath Shetty Bala and others were present on the occasion.
