Samantha is a professional; didn’t reveal she was fighting myositis while shooting for Yashoda: Unni Mukundan

Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan, who has acted in Tamil films like Seedan and Bhaagamathie, will now be seen in Yashoda. Directed by Hari and Harish, it stars Samantha in the lead.
“When I look at scripts, I think about the story and my role in it. I think about how much I can do for that role. It's important to show uniqueness in every role as an actor. Shooting for Yashoda was a very engaging process.We made a very good movie and are waiting for the audience’s reaction to it,” says the actor, adding, “I can't reveal much about my character at the moment. You will know why when you watch the movie. It's one of the reasons I immediately said OK to the role.”
Unni says Samantha is a very talented actress. “She is a very dedicated and hardworking actress. She has prepared a lot for her role, and that includes action and emotional scenes. She interacts well with other artistes on set. We discussed ideas to improvise a scene. In Malayalam, the working style is slightly different. We don’t rehearse much and perform directly in front of the camera so that the co-star’s reaction would be natural. I practised the same for this film as well.”
Recently, Samantha revealed she has myositis. Ask Unni if he knew about it while shooting, and he says, “No, she was very professional and never revealed that she was fighting such a disease. I’m sure she will recover soon and get back in good health.”
