Colors Swati who started her career as TV anchor turned actor and later singer. She had won Filmfare and Nandi Award for Ashta Chemma and was also nominated for the Filmfare Best Actress award for my Tamil film Subramaniapuram — all this in a span of two to three years. But mostly she was seen in the ‘Girl next door’ type characters.

When asked if she was against doing glamorous steamy scenes – I don’t think the script will ever demand a steamy or a bold scene from me, but it’s the characterization that drives the film. Nobody has ever approached me with such a character so far. Perhaps you can blame my ‘typecast’ image for that (laughs).
