THRIVING ON MEANINGFUL CHARACTERS

Malvi Malhotra was recently noticed for her Malayalam film Abhyuham alongside Ajmal Amir, Rahul Madhav and Akhil Sreenivasan. She is kicked about how the South Indian film industry has welcomed her and has been loving her work. Her upcoming projects include Tiragabhadara Saami in Telugu, Chasmish, a webseries on an OTT platform in Hindi, another film titled Zorawar di Jacqueline in Hindi on an OTT platform, and another south Indian film. Her Tamil film is a remake of the super-hot Malayalam film Ring master, where she is playing Keerthi Suresh's role.

Here are a few excerpts from a heart-to-heart conversation with Malvi.

Can you tell us about your recent release Abhyuham and what excited you about this project? 

It was an exciting project for me as I had a very deglamourised character. The script is very different and unique. My role is that of a rubber-tapping girl in a forest. This really helped me to grow as an actor, since Malayalam films are known for their stories and direction. I had a lot of fun shooting for this film. Right now I'm so happy that Abhyuham has been running successfully in theatres and we have received a great response.

How did you prepare for the character?

I played the role of a rubber-tapping worker. I used to be with the actual forest workers to prepare for this role. These women would start their day at 4 am and they would go to work. They would sit together with other women and have their food during lunch time. They have a very different lifestyle from what we lead normally, so I lived their life for about a week. I lived in their house and lived exactly how they lived. I practiced rubber tapping work every day to master the skill and to make it look very natural. I actually lost 4 kgs as there's so much labour work involved in this work. It was a lot of learning and a lot of interesting time for all of us.
