“Santheyelli Nintha Kabira is a project that has come at the right time. It is such a pleasure to act alongside a big superstar like Shivarajakumar Sir,” says Sanusha. She further recalls how she ended up making her Sandalwood debut opposite namma Hat-Trick Hero, “I was in Malaysia to attend the SIIMA Awards, and I met Shivarajkumar Sir. This is when Geetha Shivarjkumar and Sir, who were looking for an actress to cast in their upcoming periodical venture felt that I was perfect to play the lead and that is how I became a part of the wonderful team,” she adds.
Sanusha, who is still popularly known as Baby Sanusha in Mollywood talks about her debut as a child artiste. “I would say, it was destiny. I was not even aware that I was being considered. I later came to know that it was during a family trip to Kasargod that a director accidentally saw me and convinced my parents to cast me. Though my first movie was War and Peace, my first release was Dada Sahib,” says the two-time Kerala state award winner for her acting abilities as a child artiste.
Sanusha’s younger brother Sanoop Santhosh, is also an actor, known for his performance in Philips and the Monkey Pen. “I take one film at a time, which helps me concentrate on studies too. I have Nirnayakam in Malayalam which is ready for release, in which I portray a character which revolves around a special cause. As far as Santheyelli Nintha Kabira is concerned, I play Shivarajkumar Sir’s love interest. In fact, it was Sir, who insisted the film team send me for a break to prepare for my examinations. I will be joining the team once I am done with my exams,” says Sanusha. Before signing off, the actress reveals that she loves to sing too apart from juggling studies and acting in films and soaps. Talk about multi-tasking. She appears to have mastered this art too!
