It is indeed exciting and roles like these, which are in stark contrast to the usual ones give you more energy as an artist. I knew that the character in this film is the mother of three kids, but was rather surprised when I came to know that one of them is a tenth standard student (laughs). I hope that I look convincing in this role.

Udayananu Tharam also narrated about the making of a cinema within cinema. How different is Kadha Parayumbol from that theme?

There are no similarities at all. Udayananu Tharam was about an assistant director whose script got stolen by a struggling actor and the events thereafter. Kadha Parayumbol, meanwhile is about a barber and his family who are dire straits for failing to pay school fees on time. It is then that a major film star comes for a shooting at the village. Rumours have it that the super star and the barber knew each other and were on friendly terms.
