Esther Anil, who plays Kamal Haasan’s younger daughter in Papanasam, the remake of the Malayalam superhit film Drishyam, raves about working with Ulaganayagan and shares her most cherished advice from the legend. Esther Anil actually played the role in original and went on to reprise the role in its Telugu version too as Venkatesh’s daughter. “It’s a dream come true acting with Kamal Haasan sir and Gautami aunty. He’s humility personified. Right from the spot boys or lead actors to technicians, he treats everyone with respect,” gushes Esther to a daily.
She also says she learnt a lot things from Kamal Haasan. “If you want to achieve something in your life, work towards it with all your heart and you’ll get it if it’s meant for you. But, if you don’t get it, don’t be disheartened,” reveals Esther about Kamal Haasan’s advice which she will treasure forever. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Papanasam is in its final stages of shooting in Kerala.
