Roja's no to mom's role

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,May 03 2006]

Actress - turned - politician Roja is acting as Sathyaraj's wife in Gurukshetram, a movie directed by Jayabharathy.

Talking about her role, she says, 'I play an elderly woman's role in the movie which has a good scope to perform'.

Many senior actresses are taking to mom's roles in Kollywood. So would Roja too join the bandwagon?

When asked, Roja's immediate reply is a big 'no'.

The actress says, 'I am too young for such roles'. 'Certainly not for senior heroes acting in Tamil now. Perhaps I can play their elder sister or sister-in-law'.

Denying rumors that she is playing Prashanth's mom in Pulan Visranai II being directed by her husband Selvamani, Roja says, 'I accept movies where I have a chance to perform. Otherwise I am not interested for the sake of money'.

'I had acted as Prithviraj's mother in Parijatham for it was a tailor-made role for me and more over Bhagyaraj is wielding the megaphone for the movie'.
