Making dreams come true
Actress Sriranjani has reason to be happy.
The homely character artiste, who has just finished playing her part in KT Kunjumon���������������������������s comeback vehicle, Kadhalukku Maranamillai, has three more projects in the pipeline. ���������������������������Yes! I���������������������������m quite busy these days. I have signed Kandha Kottai and Appavi in Tamil and Mahesh Babu���������������������������s Varudu in Telugu,��������������������������� she says excitedly.
Disclosing details about her maiden project with K T Kunjumon, Sriranjani says, ���������������������������It was a great experience working with a leading producer like K T sir.

I play the hero���������������������������s mother in the film. I play a widow who faces hardship to bring up her son. It���������������������������s not the usual weeping-and-sniffing mother���������������������������s role. There���������������������������s ample scope for performance. Debutant Tejas plays my son.���������������������������
But doesn���������������������������t she feel she���������������������������s being typecast as a ���������������������������mother��������������������������� or ���������������������������sister���������������������������? ���������������������������Not really! After all, every role is different from the other. A hero also plays the lead in every film, but his character is different in each movie. It���������������������������s the same with character artistes too,���������������������������she explains and adds, ���������������������������I never wanted to become a heroine or even take up acting, for that matter. Films just happened. There is only one dream of mine that is yet to come true ��������������������������� I have a fascination for off-beat films but I really haven���������������������������t got a chance to act in one. Meaningful cinema attracts me like a magnet.���������������������������
The responsible mother that she is on-screen, is Sriranjani the same off it as well? ���������������������������Yes,��������������������������� she beams, ���������������������������The only difference is that I don���������������������������t have my make-up on!��������������������������� She continues, ���������������������������I live in a joint family and being a daughter-in-law, wife and mother at the same time is a big responsibility. Before coming to the sets everyday, I have to help my children get ready to go to school and take care of my husband until he leaves for his office and then cater to the other needs at home. In fact, it is when I am shooting that I feel I am on a holiday.���������������������������
So, what next? ���������������������������I have no big ambitions. I don���������������������������t plan anything and take life as it comes.���������������������������
