Currently basking in the success of her previous film 'Ludo', Pearle Maaney says she wouldn't have asked for a better Bollywood debut. The Malayalam actor/VJ/scriptwriter/producer has even garnered a lot of praise for her portrayal of a nurse in the Anurag Basu directorial.
Speaking in a media interview, Maaney said, “People are rewatching it. I've discovered a whole new audience base thanks to OTT. Till things get better, I feel OTT is going to be providing us with entertainment in the comforts of our homes. My friends and family staying abroad, who would earlier miss watching my films, are now being able to watch and share feedback. Also, the percentage/numbers giving way to the grading system is soothing. The people are the decision maker now.”
She added that she has no issues with the “newcomer” tag. “There has to be a beginning to everything that's great. This is my first step and it might take me another one or two years to come up with my next Hindi film but I'm happy and grateful to have started my journey with Dada (Anurag Basu). A lot of people consider working with him as the ultimate goal... I've no issues being called a newcomer because I've started a new chapter.”
On the work front, Maaney has a Hindi film and web series in the pipeline, and her Tamil film 'Valimai'.
