Model-turned-actress

Reba

Monica John, who played actor Nivin Pauly’s love interest in the film

Jacobinte Swargarajyam

will now be seen as the female lead in

Paippinchuvattile Pranayam

. She will romance Neeraj Madhav in the film directed by debutant Domin D’Silva.

On her role, Reba tells us, “I play Tina who grew up in an island. My character is shown as someone tolerant to the problems that exists in such a place. Though she is brought up in a naadan way, she is neither completely traditional nor modern.”

Talking about the romantic angle in the movie, she says, “It is not a clichéd romance but a cute love story. I will be playing an equally prominent role as that of Neeraj. In between the pranayam, there is a serious issue happening, and how the duo go about it forms the crux of the film.” That said, she quickly adds that there is a fun side to her character as well and the film also conveys a strong message.
Ask her about the long break after her debut movie, she says, “After Jacobinte Swargarajyam, I was offered a few films. However, acting had to take a backseat, as I was doing my post-graduation. Just as my studies got over, this project came up and I happily took it up.”
