Three days on a cruise with friends was just the break Aindrita Ray needed. Fresh from her chilled out holiday, the actor���������s returned to wrap up her two films ��������� Parijatha and Paramathma. ���������It was exhilarating . We left from Chennai and spent two days on the cruise, after which we were in Mahabalipuram for a day. After the holiday, I���������ve just shot for the climax scene of Paramathma, which was very intense.
We were supposed to then shoot for a couple of songs, but there was a dancers association strike and the schedule had to be pushed by a couple of days,��������� says Aindrita. The next few days will be a lot of song and dance for her, as she���������ll also shoot for the songs of Parijatha. ���������I���������ve been picking up costumes for the songs of both films,��������� says the actor. She has been taking charge of designing her look in the films, which she attributes to two factors . ���������I have an impeccable taste in clothes,��������� she laughs, ���������But more importantly, there���������s cost cutting happening in Sandalwood. Instead of hiring a designer and upping costs, producers now ask us to pick what we want, to wear��������� she adds.
Parijatha and Paramathma apart, there���������s not much happening for Andy in terms of projects. Have the offers dried up? ���������No. There are offers, but discussions are still in early stages. But not much is really interesting me. Right now, nothing can be better than working in a Yogaraj Bhat (YB) movie,��������� she states.
Questions remain about Aindrita���������s role in the YB film. She is, after all, only one of two heroines in the film and Deepa Sannidhi is Puneeth���������s love interest. Also, she was quoted as saying that she���������d even do a guest role for Yogaraj. ���������My comment was taken out of context. Yogaraj has in the past given me an award-winning role in Manasaare and I owe a lot to him.
He is one of the few directors who gives his heroines proper character sketches and utilizes them to the best of their capabilities . I did say that I would do a cameo in a YB film if he wanted me to, but that doesn���������t mean that I have a small,inconsequential role in Paramathma. My character is a very important link in the story,��������� she says.
As a first, the actor has also shared screen space with another female actor. ���������I don���������t like ensemble casts at all. I did this only for Yogaraj. I will think twice before doing it again,��������� she signs off.
