Nandita Swetha is definitely on a high, with a slew of promising films lined up for her in both Tamil and Telugu. The actress, who celebrated her birthday yesterday, spoke to DC about her next release — Ulkuthu. “The real birthday-like celebrations are when my films do well,” she starts, adding, “I knew director Caarthik Raju right from his Thirudan Police days, and I’ve always expressed my interest in working with him. When he approached me with the script of Ulkuthu, I immediately accepted to do the role.” Nandita plays the role of a naïve salesgirl from Nagercoil, who is the love interest of Dinesh.

“The highlight of my role is perhaps the scenes with Balasaravanan, who plays my brother. The comedy between the two of us has worked out very well. Working with Dinesh again after Attakathi felt nice, as back then I didn’t even know the language and was pretty clueless. Our pair had been well received, and Ulkuthu is for those who felt bad that our characters did not end up together in Attakathi!” she says.
While the film’s trailer promises a lot of action, Nandita assured that the film has a mix of all emotions. The actress is currently shooting for the Telugu remake of Tamil superhit Sathuranga Vettai. “The telugu audience have welcomed me after Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada, and I’m getting many performance oriented roles in Telugu, which is a great thing.” Apart from this, Nandita is also acting as a cop in Vanangamudi, and may also reprise her role in the Tamil remake of EPC.
