‘I am so glad to be part of 'Kaathal: The Core’, says actress Pooja Mohanraj- Exclusive

Actress Pooja Mohanraj, who played the role of the character Thankan's wife in Mammootty's recent release 'Kaathal: The Core,' expressed her elation in an exclusive conversation with ETimes. Sharing her thoughts on the movie's success and her involvement, she conveyed her delight in being a part of the film.

"In my view, true happiness comes from being part of movies that I admire. Watching 'Kaathal: The Core' in theaters, I felt a connection, and I'm incredibly grateful to have contributed to it," Pooja Mohanraj revealed to ETimes.


Reflecting on her journey, she highlighted the significance of this year, emphasizing her roles in pivotal Malayalam films. Starting with 'Romancham' and now 'Kaathal: The Core,' Mohanraj expressed her happiness in portraying two distinct characters on-screen.

The promising actress said, “It’s been a great year for me. I got to be part of some of the significant movies in Malayalam that came out this year. This year started with ‘Romancham’ and now 'Kaathal: The Core’. Both films are not made on a huge canvas like ‘2018’, or even ‘RDX’. I got to two extreme characters in both ‘Romancham’ and 'Kaathal: The Core', which I personally think are both simple and humble considering it’s canvas’.”

She embraced the versatility of her roles, finding simplicity and humility in both characters. Pooja added, “I am so glad to be a part of 'Kaathal: The Core’
