It was challenging to play a timid girl: Meghana Raj

After Rakesh Gopan’s 100 Degree Celsius, actress Meghana Raj is ready for her next outing in Mollywood. Diphan’s Dolphin Bar will see her teaming up with her Beautiful and Namukku Parkkan co-star Anoop Menon yet again.Set against the backdrop of a Trivandrum-based bar, the movie revolves around three characters, played by Suresh Gopi, Anoop and Meghana.
“I play an extremely innocent and quiet girl, lost in her own world.It’s an unconventional story that talks about love and affection,” says the actress, who adds that she will not be paired opposite any actor in the film, which is scripted by Anoop.
Meghana, who joined the movie on a short notice, says she had no time to prepare for her role, which is completely opposite to her real self. “Though it seems like a typical role, for me, this character is a challenge as I am nothing like her in real life. Adopting the body language of a timid girl was challenging yet a refreshing experience,” she says.
Meanwhile, Meghana has just made her debut as a playback singer in Kannada through the movie Bahuparak. “People generally compliment my singing abilities. But after the recording, I realised that playback singing was not an easy task. Hats off to all the playback singers! I made so many mistakes while recording. I was struggling to perfect my pitch. But I could learn a lot, including its technical aspects. And it is a dream come true for me,” she says.
