“I would love to work with directors and writers who really see my potential and who can give me something to bring out my potential as an actor. I know there are a lot of great directors in Hindi… ..I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg of what I’m doing now, there’s a lot more I can do, and I really hope it all comes true.
When asked if she has a wish list of people she would like to work with, the actor said she loves everything about Motwani, who is known for films such as “Udan“, “Lootera” and the TV show “sacred games” and “Jubilee,” have been produced to this day.
“The first thing that came to my mind was Vikramaditya Motwane. It came to my mind because ‘Lootera’ was like my favorite movie of all time. I’ve always loved everything he made. I remember always looking, ‘Who is Director and then see his name’.
Menen recently won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in “Tiruchit Rambalam” opposite Manasi Parekh (“Kachit Express”). The actor, known for hits like “Ala Modalaindi”, “O Kadhal Kanmani”, “Ustad Hotel”, “Bangalore Days” and “Mersal”, made his debut in Hindi films with “Mission Mangal”.

She said the National Award was a real recognition for the artist.
“It actually changed me inside. I feel like every path I’ve taken, every hard choice I’ve made throughout my career has a mark. Sometimes it’s like the bushes and thorns, there’s no path there. ” , but I created my own path, so it’s nice to be validated. ”
Menin believes the secret to her multilingual career is her fearless attitude towards her craft. She was sometimes criticized for turning down roles because she felt they didn’t fit the stories she wanted to tell.
“It shocked people and I got a lot of criticism. I was labeled arrogant and selfish even though I was not like that at all. I started to question, ‘Did I do something wrong?’ But this ‘no’ was more More out of integrity than arrogance.
“If it’s something that makes sense, I’ll say ‘yes,’ and I’ll do it for free…so, I want to do it with a very strong sense of integrity,” she said.
Menan will next be seen opposite Jayam Ravi in the romantic comedy.Kadalika Neramile”, directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi.
