Speaking at the audio launch ceremony of 'Maranthen Mannithen' (the Tamil version of Gundello Godari), Lakshmi Manchu talked about her filmi career and interests so far.

"Acting! Your job is over by the end of the day. Producing films is a big gamble, and the odds don't favour you. But I will keep going until I fall flat on my face."

The audio launch of Maranthen Mannithen took place recently and the music has been composed by Maestro Illayaraja. Lakshmi is confident about the music and thinks I will do well in both Kollywood and Tollywood.

"I can't wait to see the kind of response the songs will have here. Five of the tracks are same in both the languages and Raja uncle has reworked on one of his old tracks from Tamil and Telugu, which will be the highlight," she added.

The actress won the Nandi Award for Best Villain for her role in Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu. Asked if she would take up a similar role again, she said "I'm the only woman to receive an award in this category till date. Many asked me to reconsider playing the evil queen in my debut film, but how many would get an opportunity to be part of Walt Disney's first production in south India? If I am asked to play a villain again, I would do it gladly!"
