  Actress Revathi who has tested her talent in direction too in the Indian filmdom was enjoying the success of “Margarita with a Straw”. The latest we heard that she says no to the elderly roles in her upcoming films.

  

  Revathi told, “The kind of films I get is a little boring because I feel it’s okay to play my age and that’s not an issue. But it’s just that playing my age doesn't mean just being a mother, lawyer or a doctor. There is no characterisation. A very few writers write characters that suits a 35 or 45 plus woman”.

  She said, “As an actor, I'm a little bored with the roles I'm getting. It doesn't challenge me. I'm not interested in numbers. I want to do quality work and feel happy about it. For my age, none of the language writers have much to offer. That's why I'm being very slow and doing just one film in two years”.

   She added, “As a filmmaker, I don’t decide on things like this. For me, it’s an incident or story that touches my heart. I decide to make a movie on it. But, having said that I have two scripts with me and one script is about a 45 plus woman”.

  She continued, “I have been a fan of good entertainment. Cinema is a medium of entertainment. Art is like all over the world and cinema for me, is an art. Art has variety and that's the best part of it and that is why I have been able to balance”.

  She explains, “I don’t decide that my film has to be from a woman’s point of view...it's just that my last two films happened to be so. Getting into a man’s shoes and think like them is not very easy. I need to train myself for that”.

  She told, “There was no difficulty because Kalki is a simple hearted girl and very committed and that’s all you need. When people are committed, you connect to your role immediately. I had a great time with her”.
