The long break helped me grow as an artist - Maanu

Maanu, who was last seen on the screen in 1998 Tamil romantic-drama ‘Kadhal Mannan’, has faced the arclight after 15 years for upcoming Tamil thriller ‘Enna Satham Intha Neram’. She says the long hiatus has helped her grow as an artist.

 

“I may have stopped acting after ‘Kadhal Mannan’, but I’ve been busy performing across the globe since then. Therefore, the artist in me is still alive and kicking and I feel I’ve only grown as a performer since then,” Maanu told us.

A Bharatanatyam dancer, she has been busy with her performances around the world.

“Since so many years have gone by, things are a lot clearer in the head. Life is simpler and I don’t have to run for the heroine category anymore. I play a role of my age in the film, mother of a seven year-old quadruplets. I didn’t want to do a role I couldn’t justify,” she said.

Directed by Guru Ramesh, ‘Enna Satham Intha Neram’ also stars Jeyam Raja, Nitin Satya and Malavika in important roles. It has already been featured in Limca Book of Records for being the first film to feature quadruplet actors.
