Madhoo: Give me negative roles

Madhoo: Give me negative roles

Madhoo has done films such as Roja and Mr Romeo

Highlights

  • She makes a comeback to Telugu cinema with romantic-drama Anthaku Mundhu Aa Tharavatha after a decade, but southern actress Madhoo doesn't want to restrict herself to positive roles and would like to get under the skin of a "jealous wife" or "an ambitious woman".
  • Her last Telugu film was 1998 action-drama Ganesh. Before that she also did films such as Roja, Gentleman and Mr Romeo.
  • "I love to portray several emotions of human beings. As a woman, I need not always portray a single emotion in my performance. I would love to play a character with negative shades if given an opportunity," said Madhoo.
  • She added: "I would love to play a jealous wife ready to kill her husband or an ambitious career-oriented woman. I feel there is nothing wrong in playing these roles because all of us have good and bad emotions in us. What's wrong in portraying these vivid emotions in a role?"
  • In Anthaku Mundhu Aa Tharavatha, directed by Mohan Krishna Indraganti, Madhoo is seen as the heroine's mother.
  • "Even though I play a mother, Mohan gave me a very strong character. It's not just about the mother-daughter relationship, but the story explores the depth of my relationship with my husband in the film. I loved the fact Mohan made the film with a modern and progressive outlook," she said.
  • The film also features Sumanth Ashwin, Esha, Ravi Babu and Rao Ramesh in important roles.
