I find myself lucky to be a part of Ezhil's film with Gautham & Radhakrishnan Parthiepan sir: Saipriya

The latest to join the sets of Ezhil's '

' starring

Radhakrishnan Parthiepan

and Gautham Karthik is actress

Saipriya Deva

, who plays the female lead in this murder mystery.

Getting on board, Saipriya Deva says, “I have always been proud that my grandfather was the owner of Murugan Talkies (Mint, Chennai), the first cinema hall in entire Tamil Nadu. As I grew up, I was just not fascinated about the essence of movies, but the audience pulse in theaters as well. Significantly, this made me crave and yearn for the appreciation of audiences. It prompted me to take up acting as a profession. Initially, my parents were reluctant but eventually understood what my passion was and encouraged me. I underwent acting classes and later was into modelling. My first movie offer was performing the second female lead role in director

s Shivalinga

, after which I played the female lead opposite Tovino Thomas in a Malayalam movie. I was overjoyed when I got an audition call for director Ezhil sir’s 'Yutha Satham'. Having given my best, I was unsure if he liked my performance. After three days, I got confirmation that I am on board to play the female lead. I thank Ezhil sir, for this great opportunity. Throughout his career, and irrespective of what genre movies he makes, the female lead characters have importance. I find myself lucky to be a part of his project. I thank the entire cast and crew, especially the ace actor Radhakrishnan Parthiepan sir, and Gautham Karthik for encouraging me on the sets.”
