2012 was not a lucky year for actress Padmapriya. The year not only saw the actress courting trouble one after the other, but she also failed to give a major hit. To add to it, her item dance in Amal Neerad���s Bachelor Party got her negative reviews. And when we thought her career graph was dipping with the wrong choices, she appears to be bouncing back with two major multi-starrer movies under her belt ��� Siddique���s
Ladies and Gentleman and Amal Neerad���s anthology movie,
Anju Sundarikal.
Padmapriya, who is currently shooting for
Ladies and Gentleman, will be sharing screen space with M-Town���s biggies such as
Mohanlal, Meera Jasmine and Mamta Mohandas in the film. Though the actress was cautious not to reveal details about her role in the Mohanlal-starrer, she said, ���I play a girl called Jyothy and it���s absolutely a fun-filled role. That���s all I can say about it. I���m having a crazy schedule, at the same time it is a lot of fun. Siddique Sir knows how to handle the story and the characters; and, of course, the audience have high expectations from him.���
Padmapriya is also excited about teaming up with director
Amal Neerad for the second time after
Bachelor Party. ���I���ve high hopes on my next movie,
Anju Sundarikal, with Amal Neerad. The movie will go on floors in February,��� says Padmapriya. Fahadh Faasil, Dulquer Salmaan, Nivin Pauly, Isha Sharvani and Biju Menon also play lead roles in the anthology.
With a couple of her recent movies having bombed at the box office, looks like Padmapriya has decided to go slow when it comes to choosing new projects. ���It���s not only the story and the script that matter to me but also the people whom I work with. For instance, I have worked with Mohanlal in two other movies before. And each time, it���s a new experience working with him. So I am ready to wait for the right movie and the right script. I am not a person who wants to be in the limelight all the time. All I want is to be a part of good projects and be remembered for that,��� says Padmapriya.
