Okay, we give her the benefit of doubt because she is new here. But the beautiful and bubbly Sonia Mann���s straight and confident answers about the Malayalam film industry left us baffled. The Punjab-based model and theatre person, has signed up for her first ever Malayalam film ��� Hide N��� Seek, in an industry she clearly seems to have mistaken for Tollywood.
Here are excerpts���
Malayalam must be quite an alien language for someone from Punjab. What kind of expectations do you have from the industry? I am very happy to be making my debut in Malayalam films. I hope to do well and eventually, I want to be a super star in Mollywood.
What do you like about Malayalam films? I have been involved in theatre for a while. There were offers for films in Punjab too. But I am keen on a career in Bollywood and South Indian film industries. I like Mollywood for its family drama, and I like Tamil and Telugu for their action-oriented films. I have signed up for a Bollywood project and am working on an international project, but it is too early to talk about them.
What made you choose to work in a film here, the story or just the experience? I chose it for the place actually. My father was a Communist. And Kerala has a Communist background. So, I have a special place for it in my heart .
Are you aware of who the industry���s well-known actors are? Yes, I like Mahesh Babu.
Have you watched any Malayalam film? Yes, I have. I watch the dubbed versions of Malayalam films in Hindi. I watch all of Rajinikanth���s and Mahesh Babu���s films
