Priyamani in Thirakkadha
Thirakkadha ranks as one of the top Malayalam film of year 2008. Whether the film was inspired by the real life affair between Sreevidya and Kamal Haasan, we don't know. But Thirakkadha had style.
Prithviraj played Akbar, a young director, in search of his next subject. He decides to look at the tragic life of yesteryear heroine, Malavika, who had a torrid but tragic affair with reigning superstar Ajaychandran. Akbar finds Malavika in a secluded room, away from the arc lights, fighting for her life from cancer.
Thirakkadha had a definite charm and attracted audiences to some extent. Hats off to the director Ranjith also, for getting a scintillating performance from Priyamani.
