Veteran and versatile actress Varalaxmi Sarathkumar is keenly awaiting the release of her upcoming film Sabari which is slated for release on the 3rd of May. The film is now being actively promoted by Varalaxmi and here is what she has to say about Sabari which is directed by Anil Katz and produced by Mahendra Nath Kondla.
About Sabari, Varalaxmi said she first heard the story and liked it very much so gave the green signal. She said the role that she plays in Sabari is unlike anything she has done in the past and that is what excites her the most. She praised the director for his vision and producer Mahendra Nath for his humility and uncompromising production plan.
"Sabari is a screenplay driven film and I am sure that it will offer an arresting experience to the audience on the big screens. The action part is driven by a strong story. My role in the film is a distressed single parent who has to deal with marital and societal issues. There is a strong mother-daughter connection in the film that will drive the narrative."
About the director, Varalaxmi said Anil, despite being a first time director worked the screenplay wonderfully well and succeeded in delivering a thumping product. Varalaxmi heaped praise on producer Mahendra Nath for backing the film relentlessly and lavishly spending on it to make a winning product. On a personal note, she revealed that she is getting married this year.
