Last seen in Dhanush-starrer ‘Jagame Thanthiram’ in Tamil, Aishwarya Lekshmi talks about returning to Malayalam cinema after a hiatus and working with Tovino Thomas in ‘Kaanekkaane’
“Surreal but nice!” says Aishwarya Lekshmi who is back after a hiatus during the lockdown last year. Her last outing in Malayalam was in 2019 in Brother’s Day. She returns to Malayalam cinema with the recently-released Kaanekkaane, Manu Ashokan’s sleeper hit streaming on SonyLiv.
As a guilt-ridden woman trying to find happiness in her marriage, Aishwarya’s performance is spot on. The doctor-turned-actor is currently having a dream run in Tamil and Malayalam, even while she is making her debut in Telugu in Godse with Gopi Ganesh Pattabhi.
“I am super happy about the way people have appreciated my character in Kaanekkaane. Such scripts don’t come to you everyday. As an actor, you long for characters with substance and Sneha [in Kaanekkaane] was someone with so many facets to her personality,” she says.
