Abhirami upbeat about acting with Jyothika

Abhirami, who was last seen in Kamal Haasan’s Virumaandi, plays Jyothika’s friend in her comeback film, the Tamil remake of Malayalam hit How Old Are You. In the original, Kanika of Varalaaru and Five Star fame played Manju Warrier’s friend. Abhirami will be seen on screen after almost a decade in Tamil cinema.

“I was offered two roles by Rosshan Andrrews in this film — a colleague of the lead character, who has more screen time, and the character played by Kaniha in Malayalam. I picked the latter, as that has more impact in the film. I am quite excited to work with Rosshan and I would be shooting with Jyotika on my first day inChennai,” says Abirami. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews and produced by Suriya’s homebanner 2D Entertainment, the film has Rahman playing Jyothika’s husband. It has music by Santhosh Narayanan.
