‘A good role is worth the wait,’ says Malayalam actor Surabhi Lakshmi
The Hindu
The National Award-winning actor is looking forward to projects such as ‘Padma’ and ‘Jwalamukhi’, along with a few other meaty roles
When she won the National Award for the Best Actor (Female) for Minnaminungu (2016) Surabhi Lakshmi was poised to begin a new phase in her career. But that did not quite happen. Four years down the line, things are finally looking up for the versatile actor.
Up for release is Padma in which she plays the titular role. The film is about Padma and her husband, played by Anoop Menon, also the writer, director and producer of the film. “Padma, who hails from a rural background, has to adapt to a high-profile social life after marriage. There are some light moments when she goes through that lifestyle change. But there is more to the movie as it also deals with a sensitive issue in a relationship,” says Surabhi, without giving away much about the storyline.
