Whenactress Vijayalakshmi made her big screen debut as a soft, reticentgirl-next-door in Venkat Prabhu���������s Chennai 600028, little did we expectthat she would soon don a hot, sexy avatar. But Vijayalakshmidid exactly that and how! With her recent release Katrathu Kalavu oppositeKrishna, the actress is all set to prove that she can pull off a new glamorousavatar with poise.
���������Yes, most actresses are initially reluctant to donsexy roles. In my case, after a couple of films, I was a bit concerned aboutbeing stereotyped. That���������s when I decided to switch to a new avatar,���������begins the pretty young actress.
Vijayalakshmi is currently in highspirits as her Katrathu Kalavu has just hit the screens. Elaborating on her rolein the film, Vijayalakshmi says, ���������I play Krishnaveni, an aspiringstewardess who comes to the city to pursue her dreams. But as her dreams fail tocome true, she pairs up with a failed banker, played by Krishna; and the duobecomes one of the most happening con pair. Akin to Krishna, I too have fivedifferent looks in the film ��������� that of a reporter, a Marwari girl and anaffluent woman, to name a few. It was good fun trying out so many looks in asingle film.���������
The actress just can���������t stop gushing abouther co-star in the film Krishna with whom she gets along like a house on fire.���������I���������m a crazy girl; Krishna too is full of beans. Hence, I couldeasily connect with him. And the result ��������� a crackling chemistry ���������was quite evident!��������� beams the actress.
Quiz the actress if shefinds competition in the recently-released Kola Kolaya Mundhirika, which is alsoabout a con pair and their escapades, and she���������s surprised. ���������Really!Is that the plot of KKM?,��������� she asks and adds, ���������I didn���������t evenknow about it. But trust me, this film is distinct and you���������ll enjoy theroller-coaster ride.���������
As her previous release Adhey Neram AdheyIdam didn���������t really work at the box office, Vijayalakshmi now hasadditional pressure to prove herself with Katrathu Kalavu. ���������When I firstheard the script of Adhey Neram Adhey Idam, I was thrilled. But right from thesecond day of the shoot, I realised that there was something wrong. But thefailure was a blessing in disguise as I started taking my career moreseriously,��������� she explains.
So, does she get tips from herdirector dad, Agathiyan? ���������Of course! He has taught me to respect thedirectors I work with and the importance of punctuality. He has also advised meto be myself and not throw my weight around.���������
