Urvashi will be seen in a pivotal role in the upcoming movie Haviss that will look into the life of the Brahmin community from the 1950 to 1984 period. The film will hold a mirror to the beliefs, superstitions, rituals and religious practices of the Brahmin community.
Haviss is directed by Sharada Mani and the story, screenplay and cinematography is by Murali Krishna who is a cinematographer primarily. Talking about the film Sharada says, “I am basically a painter and I have been listening to a few scripts, but I wanted to attempt a story that I could relate to.
When Murali narrated the story to me, I could relate to it because I am a Brahmin myself and it touched my soul. The film starts off from 2004 and then backtracks to the past decades.” The film progresses through the life of a man Thalaivasal Vijay trying to protect an innocent Brahmin girl and about how he changes from a Brahmin to someone who denounces his sacred thread.
The girl is played by Gowri S. Nair and Urvashi plays a woman who has converted her religion. The others in the cast include K. R. Vijaya, Vijayraghavan, Sreedevi Unni, Thambi Antony and Sai Kumar. The shoot is expected to kick start by September end.
