Meera NandanThis bubbly actress cast a spell on us with her girl-next-door image, but it’s her acting proficiency that won many hearts in the tinsel town.

You’re a good singer; do you plan to sing in any of your upcoming films?

I would love to sing for a movie and would be most happy if that happens to be a Malayalam song. Sometime back I got a few openings to lend my voice for Malayalam songs, but the offers came on such a short notice, it was practically impossible for me to take it up.

Joshy Mathew’s ‘Black Forest’, a children’s movie that won the National Award for the Best Film on Environment Conservation, is one of your upcoming projects. What made you choose a movie like this?

I was part of ‘Patham Nilayile Theevandi’ which was also directed by Joshy Sir. During the shoot he expressed his desire to make me a part of his next flick. And so he called me when it was time for ‘Black Forest’. I found my character to be interesting .You can watch me play the role of a tribal girl in this movie.

Meera NandanCould you share your experience shooting in the forest?

It was mostly filmed at Ramakalmedu, Kuttikanam and Paruthumpara. We were at this tribal area for five days. Before we began shooting, we were told that the place has wild animals roaming around in the evenings, so every day we used to go on with the shoot keeping in mind the deadline that falls before it gets pitch dark. As it is a tribal area, I got to interact with the tribals. Though they speak Malayalam, it sounded to me like some strange language. For the movie I was to drape a sari in adivasi style. Those ladies took me to their huts and draped them for me. And as they were draping, one of them told me, ‘I had watched your movie ‘Mulla’. I felt so happy. It meant so much to me to get an appreciation from one of them whom I thought to be ignorant about the entertainment industry.

What can the audience expect from the upcoming Mammootty starrer ‘Kadal Kadannu Oru Mathukutty’?

As you all know it’s a Renjith movie, so go for it with an expectation that would never disappoint you. This movie has Mohanlal, Dileep and Prithviraj doing a cameo role. Apart from the casting highlights, this movie will get one to watch the German lifestyle and some fabulous landscapes.

Your role in the above said movie …..

I play the role of an LIC agent named ‘Kunjumol’ who yaps a lot in Kottayam slang. She is a girl who is independent, straightforward and blunt.

Working with Mammootty….

It’s the first time I got to act with Mammookka. I was not tensed but many a times I went blank when I had to deliver dialogues to Mammookka. I felt so lost. This never happened with me when I worked with Mohanlal for the first time.

When you were proposed by Kollywood director Chellamuthu’, you denied saying “I’m already engaged.” Was it an excuse to let off the hook?

Yes, like any other girl, I too said so to escape from the situation. Neither am I engaged nor do I have a fiancé.

Meera NandanWould you mind working with him again?

I wouldn’t because I think he lacks professionalism. I’m not saying this as he proposed to me. When I was working with him, one day on the sets, to my surprise I was told to do a romantic scene which I wasn’t even aware about before. I asked him, ‘Which scene is this? I never came across one like this when I was going through the script or when we discussions the project.’ His shocking response was like, ‘Is it necessary to describe each and every scene in detail?’ That day I told to myself, ‘never again a movie with you.’

Of the characters done so far, which is the one most close to your heart?

All the characters that I have portrayed so far are close to my heart. But the one that stands out is my character in ‘Mulla’ and ‘Seniors’. Though I played a negative role in the later, I still miss the character ‘Lakshmi’. I think that role has been effective in polishing the negative side of an actress in me.

Upcoming projects….

‘Kattum Mazhayum’ by director Harikumar, starring Lal, Unni Mukunthan, in which I play the role of Unni’s fiancé and ‘Karorpati’, a Kannada movie with Komal Kumar.

A feature of yours that you dislike….
I wish I had a better nose. Recently during the shoots of ‘Kadal Kadannu Oru Mathukutty’ Mammookka asked me, ‘Can’t you get your tooth corrected?’That day after the shoot I went home, checked them for myself. And I got to know that he was referring to my front tooth which was over lapping the other.
