I do not know who Fahad Fazil was then, Anna and Rasool acted for Rajiv Ravi: Andrea Jeremiah
Andrea Jeremiah won the hearts of the Malayalee audience with her 2013 film Anna and Rasool directed by Rajeev Ravi. Andrea had a great performance as Anna in the film.
Andrea later came to Prithviraj’s London Bridge and has not acted in many Malayalam movies since then. Andrea reveals why she did not act in Malayalam movies later.
Andrea said that she did not know Fahad when she came to act in Anna and Rasool. In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, Andrea opened her mind about Fahad and Rajeev Ravi.
‘After Anna and Rasool, not many such good scripts came from Malayalam. That is why more Malayalam movies were not made. Fahad is a very good actor. One of the best actors to ever act with.
But I have to say about director Rajeev Ravi beyond Fahad. I did not know who Fahad was when I signed for the film. Because Fahad was not a big star then as he is today.
The film is for Rajeev Ravi. Because Rajeev Ravi was the DOP in all the films of Anurag Kashyap. That story was told to me as if it were the story of Romeo and Juliet. I have not received any love stories from Tamil. It’s about doing it in Malayalam, ‘said Andrea.
She said that she has respect for the Malayalam film industry and that it is the most successful industry.
‘Looking at it now, the most successful film industry in India is the Malayalam industry. They are the most successful industry in terms of investment and return investment. They have a good story. Everyone sees their picture. Especially during a lockdown. That is the truth. So they are at the forefront of the quality of the film
People in the Malayalam industry have a great script sense. One thing I have seen in the Malayalam industry is the respect and importance given to screenwriters. I have not seen it in any other industry. If you go to a Malayalam film set, there will be a director. There will also be a script writer. They also come every day for the shooting. They also keep commenting. But not in other industries, ‘Andrea added.
