Sumanth: I am drawn to flawed, realistic characters
The Hindu
Actor Sumanth opens up on ‘Malli Modalaindi’ and wonders why there hasn’t been a film on life after divorce
A couple parts ways. It becomes a topic of conversation in family and social circles. If that was not enough, the male protagonist finds himself falling in love with the divorce lawyer. The promos of the Telugu film Malli Modalaindi (It Begins Again) hint at a romantic comedy and family drama rolled into one. What adds curiosity to this story of life after divorce is its lead actor Sumanth, who has chosen to remain single since his divorce more than a decade ago. With self-deprecating humour, the actor admits that he could relate to certain aspects of his on-screen character.
Excerpts from a conversation with Sumanth, ahead of the film’s release on Zee5 on February 11:
