Singer and actress Andrea Jeremiah made her acting debut with Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Pachaikili Muthucharam in 2007. While it has been 15 years since its release, and thus her debut in the industry, Andrea still finds it unbelievable to have entered Kollywood over a decade ago. Ahead of her upcoming film Anel Meley Pani Thuli, which is slated to be released on SonyLIV on November 18, the actress revisits her filmography in an interview with Krishna.
Speaking about the three favourite female characters from her filmography, Andrea says, “In these 15 years, from Pachaikili Muthucharam to Vadachennai, the roles that I’ve done with great interest would be Chandra from Vada Chennai (2018), Althea from Taramani (2017) and Anna from Annayum Rasoolum (2013). So over these years, many films could’ve given me a box office hit, but none of them affected me as much as these films did. It was about connecting to the role as a woman, more than an actress,” says Andrea, gleefully adding, “While I’ve picked three roles from the past 15 years, post lockdown, I’ve already been able to do three other such films. Isn’t that a wonderful thing?”
