So he tried to tell me that his story was not a fantasy and such incidents and characters are a part of normal life in Madurai area. And the next day, he showed me a news item in a local daily about an incident that happened in Madurai the previous day which was similar to our story. I had asked Sasikumar the same thing while we were shooting. I can never forget that.ĭo you think that violence was a bit too much in the film? Both I and Jai did not use glycerin and even after the shot was Okayed by the director, I was crying and it took me quiet sometime to be normal. So now when I hear that the film is a hit, I feel so happy that all the hard work that we all put into the film has been handsomely rewarded and I have to say that Tamil audiences have proved that a good film will always be appreciated, in spite of not having any big stars or technicians. It was a great team spirit and everyone was so involved as they wanted to prove themselves, including my director Sasikumar. Everybody was hard working, was passionate about their work and above we all had great faith in the script. The unit of Subramaniapuram was like a family. But when we started shoot my thoughts completely changed. First and foremost- I did not know Tamil and to shoot continuously in a village with new people around was a challenge. Initially when I got this offer to do the role, I was very skeptical if I could do justice. It was very difficult for me to have that Vekkam (shy and coy) look on my face and body language. I am the opposite of Thulasi in real life – fun loving, outgoing and is thoroughly a city-bred girl. But the entire unit was so kicked-up and optimistic that we completed the film on time.ĭo you identify with the Thulasi character that you played in Subramaniapuram? When we started work for the film, there were lots of initial hiccups like continuous rain etc. I came into the industry without any formal training in acting, no Godfathers, no industry connections and had never made a portfolio or done make-up or screen tests. Īctually Subramaniapuram is the first movie where I play heroine in a pucca commercial film.Īre you elated after knowing that Subramaniapuram is turning out to be a hit? I was doing my graduation when director Krishna Vamsi offered me this off-beat film in Telugu Danger and later I did Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule. My dad was in Indian navy and so I did schooling in different places and finally we are now settled in Hyderabad.

I have completed graduation in Biotechnology and have always been a studious girl.

Subramaniapuram fame actress Swathi is cute and homely, looks like she now became next door girl for Tamil and Telugu movie fans.
