Meera Nandan in 'Valmiki'

Though Lal Jose had a disastrous result at the box office with his latest film 'Mulla', the heroine who debuted with the film, Meera Nandan has become a success. She got rave reviews for her performance.

The television anchor turned actress is now Kollywood-bound with her first movie 'Valmiki' shaping up well. This movie produced by the Media Company of Ananda Vikatan, is directed by G Anandanarayanan and has 'Kaloori' fame Akhil as the hero. The movie is said to be a 'soft and sweet love story with some soul stirring music'.

Meera Nandan, the 17 year old Kochi based actress says that she is not interested in glamour roles. The actress wants to do only meaningful family-oriented films like Lachi in 'Mulla' and Vandana in her debut Tamil film.

The plots of both these films have some similarities. Both have slum based stories and the heroes are pickpockets and small time gangsters whose lives change drastically. Lachi in 'Mulla' is accidentally forced to take care of a child, while Vandhana in 'Valmiki' runs a cr¨che.

"Actually, I never had any intention of acting in Tamil movies. But the story of 'Valmiki' and the technicians associated with it impressed me so much that I accepted the role" says Meera. She now has plenty of offers coming her way from both languages.

She might just go on to become a big name in Kollywood, just as many of her Malayalee predecessors did.
