Nitya Menon has been one of the torchbearers of the changing trend in cinemas. She marked her name as the first ever South Actress to play a lesbian. She played the role of such girl named Krishnaveni in the latest released movie ‘Awe!’.
We know that Nitya marked her debut with Ala Modalaindi movie starring Nani and the duo share a great bond. Nani made his production debut with this movie. In a recent interview, when asked Nitya whether her friendship with Nani made her accept this project, she instantly said NO. She stated that it is the narration of director Prashanth Varma and the story which compelled her to say Yes to this project but not her friendship with the producer. However, she also made some interesting remarks about the remuneration.
When asked about the paycheck she took for the film, Nitya admitted that as Nani is her friend she gave a big discount for him and agreed to do the film for a very paltry paycheck. Well, she gave a huge discount for her Ala Modalaindi co-star but didn’t accept the project for him, which sounds quite surprising, isn’t it?
Nitya has played so many experimental roles in her career even though she was not playing the lead. But the actress claimed that she loves to do challenging roles that tap the actor in her and remarked that no character really explored her full-fledged. She’s currently writing a script and wants it to direct next year. So hope she will tap her full potential herself.
