One of the current favourites of south Indian filmmakers, Andrea is at her best when it comes to playing free-spirited, bold characters. After wowing the audience with her roles in 'Taramani' and 'Aval', the actress is now set to start shooting for 'Kaa- The Forest'. Director Nanjil revealed that Andrea will play a girl with a hippie-like nature in it.
“'Kaa...' is a crime thriller that stresses on the fact that life, irrespective of whose it is, is important. Andrea plays a wildlife photographer, someone who is quite wild and very hippy. She was my first and final option to play the lead because her face and attitude matched the character's – she is friendly, but has this 'don't mess with me' attitude. She didn't have to do any homework; I'd asked her to only attain a trimmed physique,” the debutant director said. He added, “Salim Ghouse is playing a character that's starkly opposite to Andrea's. I think he was impressed when I said there won't be any songs in the film.”
No songs in a South movie?! The director said, “It was composer Amrish's idea. After he heard the narration, he told me that the script is so packed that it has no scope for song insertion. He told me in a pretty serious tone to not include any songs even if he himself insisted at a later stage. Wherever required, there will be BGM, and the rest of the film will ride heavily on sound effects. Amrish will be giving a soundscape that complements the story. He will be using jungle sounds to enhance the narration.”
