Gopika

"I am not for glamour" - Gopika


Gopika, the young actress from Kerala, made it big in Tamil due to the huge success of Cheran’s Autograph. Back home her Malayalam film 4 the People’s success gave her the much needed break. Fortunately, for her, two hit films were remade in Telugu and those too become hits. She has arrived in all the South Indian languages. Gopika speaks to Galatta.com editor in an exclusive interview.

One film old! You have become so popular! Comment Gopika
It’s all God’s gift! I never expected this. The offer which I got in my first Tamil film itself was too good. Thanks to Cheran sir! Cheran sir came to Allepey for location hunt for his film Autograph. He was looking out for a new ‘mallu’ girl for that particular character. Production executive Kabir showed my photos among other 5 girls. He selected me and assured that this role would be a talked about which has come true today. I was made to dub my own voice after so much of coaxing because it was Malayalee girl's role.

You appeared so goodie...goodie in your first film! From the promos of your next film Kanaa Kanden, it appears you have taken to glamour!
No way would I do very glamourous role. In KK, it goes well with the story. I think you are talking about a particular song picturised on me and hero Srikanth. It’s a situational song. Actually in the original context the song is sung by the newly married in the bedroom. Since we felt it would not suit me, the director KV Anand changed it to outdoor duet. He also promised that he would take it in a subtle way. I took him for confidence. But I have not even worn any revealing dresses in that song.

Though you are a Malayalee, Gopika looks perfect Telugu girl was the general feel of audience who watched Naa Autograph. How do you feel about it?
I was elated and it was because of the powerful character. Also it was a remake, and I was very comfortable. The success in Tamil gave confidence in Telugu.

Heard your younger sister is also being launched in Tamil!Gopika
My sister Gliny is getting lot of offers. She has just completed her plus2. Seriously there are no plans to launch my little sister in films.

Have you changed after becoming a top actress?
First of all I don’t consider myself as a top actress. My entering film is only accidental. I do not believe in these ‘number games’. So I do not really crave to reach to top. I will do my work and leave the rest to God!

What are your future commitments?
My next release would be Kanaa Kanden where I play a serious role as wife of Srikanth, Thotti Jaya with Simbhu where I am a college student. I am looking forward a lot from to Ponniyin Selvan, where I am teamed up with Ravi Krishna because for the first time I am trying out comedy in this film.
