'I never listen to the narration from a director to check whatÂs there for me in it. I listen to it like a kid and if it triggers me then I am in. If I look at what Anushka has in it, the film wouldnÂt work said Anushka in an exclusive chat with IndiaGlitz on the eve of her biggest film yet ÂVarna aka ÂIrandaam Ulagam which is releasing on the 22nd November across the world. The serene beauty is candid in her detailing the experience of doing the film ÂVarna and the awe in her eyes was not missed when she spoke about the accomplished director Selva Raghavan.
First Love Story In My Career
'I am doing a love story for the first time in my career and I enjoyed it to the hilt. The character, both the dimensions has a solid weight but I didnÂt feel a burden at no point in timeÂ
Pure Love Story
Echoing the directorÂs words, Anushka said ÂThis is a pure love story between people from two parallel worlds. Never seen before story, never experienced before visual and sound magnificence.
Arya Is Quite Athletic
'Arya is a wonderful co-artiste and it only helped that he has an athletic body and the on screen chemistry will be a treat to watch both in action and romantic sequencesÂ
I Like Being Challenged
ÂI never mug up the lines or lyrics while shooting a song. I understand them, learn them from AD, director or anyone who is competent. Try to give the best to the camera till I am challenged and then I work harderÂ

I DonÂt think Of Height
ÂI never think of my height and comparison with my co-starÂs height while choosing a project. There are rumors about my being six feet tall but thatÂs wrong, I am only 5Â6Â in heightÂ
WhatÂs In A Sexy Expression
I am generally asked to give a Âsexy expression while doing songs or some romantic scenes. While growing up as a girl, I never knew what it is. Not just me, any girl from your household doesnÂt know about it, I bet. So when I am asked to give one, it confuses me but I learnt to manage with a stock expression.
Unlearning Experience
ÂWorking with Raghavan is a wonderful Âunlearning experience. In the sense that over the years and the stereotyped roles I played in films, I grew up giving the from the library of expressions I built. ItÂs like cheating yourself and it went well till date. But not with director Raghavan. He stops you, helps you format yourself to new stock, new expressions and thatÂs how you reinvent yourself and evolveÂ
Come With An Open Mind, You Will be Surprised
ÂThe biggest problem with our cinema in general is that we compare. When we said itÂs a sci-fi genre and about two worlds, they started comparing it with ÂAvatarÂ. Good to have benchmarks but these expectations would only disappoint you when you come with a closed mind. So, I request the audiences to come watch the film with an open mind and enjoy the saga. I assure you, you will be thoroughly entertainedÂ
