has been bagging quite a few plum roles recently. She has now grabbed the lead role in director
Shafi’s
Sherlock Toms
, which has her playing wife to
Biju Menon’s character.
On her role, the actress says, “I play Rekha, seemingly a nagging wife. She is a simple, urban wife and the suspense of the film is very much tied to the character It’s a comic role.”
The actress says that she’s excited about acting as the female protagonist in the film. “You could be a heroine of a film and just be treated as eye candy. But in this movie, my role is challenging and I get equal space to perform as the male protagonist,” she says.
The film, scripted by Shafi, Najeem Koya and
Sachy, has Biju Menon as an aspiring detective named Toms. Miya, who plays a journalist, is also part of the cast. “Director-actor
