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:

In a recent interview with us, Jiiva described Kalathil Santhippom as a proper ‘elai saapadu’, with something for everyone in the family. True to this description, the film ticks all boxes of a commercial entertainer, and what’s more, all the ‘masala’ blends together to form quite an enjoyable product.
Kalathil Santhippom also joins the small list of films whose trailers have undersold the efficiency of the actual film.
This feature is quite surprising for how engagingly it spins a tale, despite having the usual template elements.
The songs aren’t exactly foot-tapping, the one-liners aren’t worthy of being T-shirt captions, and the visuals are also not exactly spectacular. What sets this film apart, however, is its coherence.

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.
