CM has recommended Namitha for Ilaignan

Guess who has personally recommended Namitha for the character she is now playing in ‘Ilaignan’? It is none other than Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, who has scripted the film.

“It’s an honour that the Chief Minister himself has handpicked me for the role. Hopefully I would fulfill his expectations by giving my best to my character in Ilaignan”, the sexy siren says.

Throwing light on the role, she says, “I play a woman hailing from a mixed race- party English and partly Indian. It is a film set in the 1940s and my role could remind you that of Ramya Krishnan’s in Padayappa”.

On the film’s director Suresh Krishna, she says, “He is a cool man who makes his colleagues feel comfortable. The director behind many a blockbuster of Tamil cinema, it is a delight to work with him”.

Glamour queen Namitha is back

South India's glamour queen Namitha is back in Kollywood and will play a prominent role in Kalaignar Karunanidhi’s Ilaignan, directed by Suresh Krishna (of Annamalai and Baasha fame). The film has Pa. Vijay and Ramya Nambisan in the lead.
“I’m thrilled to do Ilaignan. My character is crucial to the development of the plot. It’s a very powerful role, a character with negative shades with which I get to experiment with my looks and costumes; something different and striking. I accepted the role because the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film have been penned by Kalaignar. It is also Suresh Krissna’s 50th film. It feels good to be a part of such a project,” she said to a leading English daily.
Interestingly, her recent Telugu release Simha, with superstar Balakrishna and Nayantara, is turning out to be the year’s biggest hit. There are also reports that the actress will soon produce films under her new banner
