Popular actress Anandi has taken a unique step in her career by starring in the movie ‘Mangai,’ breaking the norm followed by married actors who avoid certain scenes that might make their spouses uncomfortable. In this bold film, Anandi delivers a message to society, taking on a role that challenges conventional expectations.
Initially hesitant after reading the script due to its shocking and bold elements, Anandi said that she contemplated not taking on the project. However, she added that it was her husband’s support that motivated her to step out of her comfort zone and accept the challenging role.
The film ‘Mangai,’ meaning ‘sleeping child,’ narrates the journey of a girl traveling solo from Munnar to Chennai, highlighting the situations and experiences she encounters along the way. The makers aim to present the story from both a woman’s and a man’s perspectives.
The movie’s first look led many to interpret the storyline, where men are seen photographing different parts of a beautiful girl’s body, raising curiosity about the film’s direction and message.
Anandi, known for her diverse roles beyond conventional heroine characters, is optimistic that ‘Mangai’ will earn her substantial recognition. In addition to her performance in this film, she has showcased her talent in Telugu movies such as ‘Zombie Reddy,’ ‘Itlu Maredumilli Prajanikam,’ and ‘Sridevi Soda Center.’
