Malavika Mohanan - Aishwarya Rajesh and Madhoo open up at Maitri event

Madhoo explaining why she quit the film industry, in the early days of her career I decided to leave the film industry initially because I had acted in movies like Roja, Annayya, and Yodha, among others, where I played strong female characters. However, I eventually shifted my focus primarily to Hindi films since I was based in Mumbai and wanted to be a part of that industry. During the 90s, action films and heroes dominated the scene, and my roles mainly involved dancing, delivering a few romantic lines, and shedding tears with parents. While I enjoyed dancing, I realized that I was deeply unhappy with this shift from films like Roja. I recognized that my true passion lay in being an artist and doing meaningful work. Whenever my shooting dates approached and I had to go for shoots, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dissatisfaction. After working in the industry for about 9-10 years, I decided it was time to quit. The moment I found a reason, which was when I wanted to get married, I wrote a letter to the people in the industry, expressing my intention to leave. It was partly driven by a sense of arrogance, childhood arrogance, I recognize that now, but at that time I felt that they didn't deserve me. Deep down, I knew I wanted to accomplish much more in my career. So I decided to get married, have children, and continue with my life. However, it was only after leaving the industry that I truly understood my identity as an artist. I realized that I needed to return to the field and secure a role that would allow me to fully express my talents and pursue my passion. Few of them from the conversations :- Madhoo on outshining male actors with her performance: I often feel that after reviewing the footage on the editing table, if a male actor perceives that the female actor has performed well or delivered their lines effectively, they proceed to edit or remove the entire scene. Alternatively, they opt to reshoot the scene altogether. In those instances, I would question the need for reshooting and inquire about the rationale behind it. The response I would receive was that the actors themselves requested it. And then I used to think but what about me? I have done well! Madhoo on ageism in the industry: It becomes exceedingly difficult to secure a meaty role when working onscreen. I have no interest in portraying the character of Ajay Devgn's mother. And this is a probable scenario! We were both launched in the industry simultaneously and are of similar age. However, things are changing. Recently, Tabu, who is also my contemporary, starred opposite Ajay Devgan in some recent films, and I am immensely grateful for the positive changes that the industry has undergone. The emergence of OTT platforms allows for the creation of content that doesn't rely on drawing audiences to theaters. Regardless of one's age, size, or color, it is now possible to tell your story and receive recognition. I commend exceptional women who produce such narratives and provide opportunities for individuals like us to make a comeback irrespective of age. Malavika Mohan on the deep patriarchy that exists in society: I think there's this idea, that even with our dreams, we are told to dream a certain way. When you are embarking on this whole journey of being an actor, the idea of being a successful female actor that is sold to you is that if you work with the male biggies, that means you've arrived, that is the benchmark of success. So that's what every female actor in this country has been taught. Therefore, when work started coming my way, my go-to instinct was to work with these ‘biggies’. And when you work with a big male star and get overnight success, sometimes you start associating your worth with the worth of your project or the actor you are associated with. I realized that started happening with me. This realization reminded me of something my mother used to mention. She would often watch Malayalam films from the 1960s and 1970s, during which actresses were offered remarkable roles. She would express her admiration for those times – she would ask me to pray for ‘good’, ‘meaty’ roles. As a 20-21-year-old, I failed to fully grasp her perspective, questioning why she held such sentiments, and told her she should be telling me to pray for ‘big’ movies. However, having now completed a full circle in my own journey, I understand that securing substantial roles is the key to sustaining one's career and leaving a lasting impact. This ensures that you are not merely a temporary sensation or a passing trend. Aishwarya Rajesh on becoming her own hero: I come from a background with no connections to the film industry – my father was in cinema, but unfortunately, I lost him when I was 8. My journey to becoming an actor was challenging. I faced discouragement and criticism based on my appearance, particularly my dark complexion. People told me that I wasn't suitable to be an actor, and that I couldn't even stand behind someone on set. However, despite these setbacks, I decided to give it a try and prove those naysayers wrong. Slowly but steadily, I began to make progress and achieve success. I had a strong desire to work in female-centric films, and I was fortunate to get opportunities in that domain. However, as my career progressed, I noticed a decline in opportunities to work with prominent male stars. In response, I started questioning whether the roles they offered were truly aligned with my level of skill and ambition. These thoughts crossed my mind, at least in a lighthearted manner, as I reflected on my journey so far (laughs). After the success of my film Kaaka Muttai, the entire film industry showered me with praise. However, despite the positive reception, I found myself in a surprising predicament: I wasn't receiving any offers for almost a year and a half. It was a period of stagnation, and I felt frustrated by the lack of opportunities. If we examine my filmography today, apart from a few prominent actors like Dhanush, Vijay Sethupathi, Sivakarthikeyan, and Dulquer Salmaan, who appreciated my work, I haven't been offered roles by other actors who admired my performances. That's when I had the opportunity to work on a film called Kanaa, which marked the beginning of my journey in female-centric cinema. Since then, I have acted as the sole protagonist in around fifteen films or more. Despite this, I still ponder why the prominent male actors haven't approached me yet. However, I made a conscious decision to embrace being the hero of my own films. This mindset shift has brought me immense happiness and allowed me to let go of any concerns or worries regarding the involvement of bigger heroes. I have established my own audience, and that is something I truly cherish.

 Actress Aishwarya Rajesh keeps enthralling the audiences with her stellar performances in unique roles. And here she is back to prove her acting prowess in the new movie titled ‘Driver Jamuna’ featuring her as the lead character, which has got its first look unveiled now. 

 ‘Vathikuchi’ fame filmmaker P. Kinslin is directing this movie that features Aishwarya Rajesh as the protagonist. The others in the star cast include Aadukalam Naren, Sri Ranjani, ‘Stand Up Comedian’ Abhishek, ‘Raja Rani’ movie fame Pandian, Kavitha Bharathi, Pandi, Manikandan, Rajesh, and many others. Gokul Benoy (Cinematography), Ghibran (Music), Don Bala (Art) & R Ramar (Editor) are the main technicians. Since ‘Driver Jamuna’ is an out-and-out Road movie, it significantly demands top-notch sound factors, and hence, the makers have roped in the best sound design company ‘Sync Cinema’ to handle it. The movie is produced at a whopping budget by a famous pediatrician and top-league producer S.P. Choudhary of 18 Reels.

Director Kinslin says, “Currently, we witness many women working as call taxi drivers. Driver Jamuna revolves around the dramatic events that happen on the day of a woman cab driver.  Aishwarya Rajesh has prepared for this role in an effective manner by interacting with several female cab drivers and observing their body language and mannerisms to adapt to this character. Usually, road-based movies are shot using the Blue Matte technology. In contrast, Aishwarya Rajesh has performed every single shot without using any dupes and drove the car across the roads to give a realistic approach to her character in this movie. Her ability to focus on the road while driving, and at the same time, perfectly render dialogues with her co-stars surprised everyone on the sets. Although the character is challenging, she has nourished it intensely with her brilliant performance.”

While the major works have already been completed, ‘Driver Jamuna’ has reached the final stage now. During this juncture, the team has revealed the first look of this movie. Apart from Tamil, ‘Driver Jamuna’ will be released in other South Indian languages like Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada as well.
