Mahima Nambiar has always been an actress who has the knack of choosing content-oriented films. Her upcoming projects are no different. She has four films — three in Tamil and one in Malayalam at different stages of production. Her long pending film Annanukku Jay with Attakathi Dinesh will also release in a couple of months. Speaking to DC, Mahima says, “We finished shooting for Annanuku Jay one and a half years back and I’m glad that it will release soon. I play a village belle who is bold and part of a local music band. I will appear throughout the film and my character would always be fighting with Dinesh. I would say that this is one of my favourite characters of all time.”
The Kuttram 23 actress says that director Rajkumar gave her complete freedom to act. “So far, I’ve been imitating what the directors have taught me. In this film, he gave me the space to perform and I learnt to react to the situation,” she shares. Even in her upcoming film Kodi Veeran with Sasikumar, she plays a village girl.
“My role is lady-like but when it comes to topics like equality, she voices her opinion strongly. Even though I did not dub for the film, director Muthaiah was particular that the lip-sync matched perfectly, so I had to learn the Madurai slang to mouth my dialogues,” she quips. Mahima’s upcoming films include GV Prakash’s Ayngaran, Arulnithi’s Iravukku Aayiram Kangal and Mammootty’s Masterpiece.
