Manjima Mohan used the lockdown to begin an online initiative called One in a Million that sought to promote new talent. Those months were a reality check for many. I realised that there are so many talented people without a platform to put themselves out there. My friends recommended that we start an Instagram page. Now that we have more time, we hope to make the initiative bigger, says Manjima, who plays the female lead in Kalathil Santhippom (KS).
Here, she discusses the film, her take on women-centric cinema and more. Excerpts:

Debutant director Rajasekar s Kalathil Sandhippom is an enjoyable rural family entertainer that revolves around the lives of two close friends.
Anand(Arulnithi) and Ashok (Jiiva) are happy-go-lucky friends who puts their families in trouble often. The treatment is light-hearted and the filmmaker has placed enough emotional moments glorifying the bromance between the two lead actors.
The film opens with a Kabbadi match establishing the characters of Anand and Ashok. While Arulnithi takes the offence route, Jiiva is quite good in the defense part of the game. In real-life too, Jiiva prefers to stay away from problems while Arulnithi is bold.

Arulnithi is steering away from familiar territory with the multi-starrer ‘Kalathil Santhippom’, where he shares screen space with actors Jiiva, Priya Bhavani Shankar and Manjima Mohan
Eleven films in 10 years is not exactly a healthy average for an actor playing the male lead in Tamil films. But Arulnithi is not your average actor. Whilst the average Tamil film hero takes on two or three projects simultaneously, Arulnithi paces his films.
“In this day and age, every film you do is important because even if one doesn’t work out, then the next project can become a question mark,” Arulnithi says, over phone.
