Malayalam actress Ann Augustine
could be the find of 2010. Her
maiden venture as an actor, Lal
Jose' Elsamma Enna Aankutty,
has become a big success. She
played the local reporter of a daily in a sleepy village, who had
to become bold enough to take
care of her family. Ann has just completed shooting
for Ranjith Sankar's Arjunan
Saakshi, opposite Prithviraj. She
is currently facing the camera as
Kunchacko Boban's fiancee in V K
Prakash's Three Kings. Daughter of veteran actor
Augustine, Ann chats with
Meghna George.
Your character in Arjunan
Saakshi is called Anjali
Menon. What is she like?
She is a journalist and a modern
girl. That doesn't mean she is
very bold and brave. She is a
normal girl. She gets involved in
certain social issues and moves
along with it. There is no big romance happening.
How different is this
character from the one in
your debut film, Elsamma
Enna Aankutty?
You can't compare the two
characters, as there are no
similarities between them. Elsamma was a local reporter for
a daily but she came from a
completely different
environment. She had
tremendous responsibilities and
was really bold. My character in Arjunan Saakshi, as I have
already mentioned, is that of a
normal girl who has just started
her career.
How did life change for you
after Elsamma Enna
Aankutty?
(Laughs) Life has changed a lot,
in the sense that now I have to
wake up so early! I would
definitely love to sleep more.
Then there are the usual things
like people recognising me on the streets. Things around me have
changed quite a lot. But personally, there is not much
change for me. My friends are
still the same. May be two or
three have been added to the
list.
Did you imagine Elsamma
Enna Aankutty to become
such a big success?
Never. Of course, I wanted it to
do well. I expected it to be a big
hit and prayed a lot. I had put
my heart and soul into my
character. For the first time in
my life, I knew what hard work was. I never thought it would
become such a big success and I
feel so happy about it.
If you could rewind and do
the role all over again, how
different it would be ?
Like any other actor, I feel that I
could have been better in some
of the scenes too. I would
per haps do some scenes in a
different way. But this happens
to everyone. The important thing is that director Lal Jose
had confidence on me and
You were planning to
pursue a career in Clinica l
P sychology. Now, how
serious are you about the
career as an actor?
No, I am not confident about a
career as an actor. Actually, I
feel this is not a career option. It
may be there for two or three
years. There are too many
talented kids coming and I always feel like I am not very talented. I
don't think of this as my career.
But let's see how things happen
(smiles).
