“Poovaasam” is an important song in my career. The music is quite amazing and the credit goes to Vidya Sagar, who gave us tremendous tunes. A failure film doesn’t always mean a bad film. But Anbe Sivam is a fantastic film, and it’s unfortunate that the audience failed to celebrate it then. You don’t know why a film actually fails. Even today, you can listen to the song play in FM stations. Though it wasn’t retained in the film, I enjoyed the process of writing the song. I got to pen the lyrics for “Mouname Paarvayai”. Though Madhavan and I didn’t have combination scenes, we still keep in touch. I feel happy that the makers chose me for the role because someone was originally approached for the same.

I had to ride the bike with Kamal sir, who was a pillion rider. I remember they shot that scene first, and it wasn’t easy. It was a bold one, and I had to ride Rajdoot. I travelled with Kamal sir throughout the film and could relate to my character. My husband Riyaz Khan has acted with him in Aalavandhan, but I never thought I’d get a chance eventually. Kamal Haasan and R Madhavan on the sets of the film He explained the nuances of my character in such detail, I didn’t have to act, I just had to be my character. There was this lengthy scene between Kamal sir and me where I propose to him, which was deleted on the second day after Anbe Sivam hit the screens. He always takes additional care to make his co-artistes comfortable.

Working with Kamal sir, in fact, was the best thing ever.

The film got released in January, and I delivered the baby in March - the same year. I was pregnant with my second child, and everyone treated me so well on the sets. Anbe Sivam is an experience I’ll never forget.
