Mumtaz Sorcar’s Tamil film ‘C/o Kaadhal’ was supposed to release on March 20 but the release got postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. But that doesn’t stop Mumtaz to see the start of 2020 on a positive note.
Speaking about her Tamil venture, the versatile actress says the film tells a beautiful love story where she plays Saleema.
“The guy works in a wine shop. The girl goes to buy and the guy makes sure that he gives her the bottle. She is a regular there. This is the only interaction they have for years. He is madly in love with her. Her face is always covered and he gets to see her eyes only. Different love stories are put together in the film,” said Mumtaz adding that the simplicity and innocence of the story was too touching.
Giving a peek into her look in the film Mumtaz adds: “It’s very simple. Saleema comes from a poor background. She is independent and strong willed. The director has emphasised on my eyes a lot in the film. It was also challenging and interesting to enact certain scenes where my face is covered, my eyes being the only part exposed. So I had to say Tamil through my eyes. For the rest of the scenes it was the usual challenge of mastering the language and becoming the character. Saleema is a very special character.”
Directed by debutant Hemambar Jasthi, the film also stars Vetri, Ayraa, Karthik Ratnam, Mudhal Mariyadhai actor Deepan, Sonia Giri in pivotal roles.
