‘I’m not in a position to compete with Trisha’

Mamta Mohandas, who hogged the limelight with her charming looks in Silapadhigaram, is back with Guru En Aalu.
She���s also busy in Tollywood with King opposite Nagarjuna and Trisha. So, what���s it like working with heroines who have established themselves in the industry? ���I���ve known Trisha since my first film. We aren���t at loggerheads with each other. We talk a lot on the sets.We discuss other things, mostly about clothes and the places we travel to. It���s a misconception that two heroines are always rivals,��� she explains.
She adds that she���s not in the numbers game at the moment. ���Right now I���m not in a position to compete with Trisha; she���s five to six years senior to me. But a few years from now, I do wish to see myself there and I���m working towards it,��� she says.
While being busy in Tollywood, Mamta has also finished shooting for a Tamil film, Guru En Aalu, opposite Madhavan. ���I���m a big fan of Madhavan and I also wanted to keep myself active in the Tamil industry,��� she says. Guru En Aalu is a remake of the old Hindi film, Yes Boss. What���s her take on remakes? ���We have to look at what audiences want,��� she says. ���They want to be entertained, to laugh a bit and then forget about the movie. It���s been a while since we saw Madhavan doing comedy. And though it���s a remake, he���s brought his own touch to the role. With Vivek and Abbas also in the film, it���s a laugh riot,��� she says.
Apart from acting, Mamta is also a talented singer, having lent her voice to heroines like Nayanthara, Ileana and Yana Gupta. Now that she���s busy with her acting, has singing taken a back seat? ���It���s my ultimate passion. Except for Chintakayala Ravi, I���ve sung for all my Telugu movies. When I feel really low, music is what puts me back on track,��� she concludes.
