Some queries and answers with Mamta Mohandas
? How did films happen?
I am Malayalee and brought up in Bahrain.
I had finished my schooling there and came down to Banglore for the higher studies.
While I was in the last year of my studies Hariharan (Malayalam director) saw me in a party and offered me the film Mayookam but I was not sure of accepting it. My plans were different.
After finishing graduation, I wanted to study in UK and then to the middle East. So I took some time to accept the offer.
I finished Mayookam my holidays, and it took more than four months to get the film released (November 2005). After that I started doing films from middle of 2006 and completed seven films so far in Malayalam.
? Tell us about your entry into Telugu ?
It just did happen. I didn't plan it.
Though I was offered movies earlier in Telugu, I didn't take up them.
Then I got offer from M S Raju and Aata was supposed to be my launch pad but it didn't.
Then I waited for an exciting movie offer with a great character.
That I got from Rajamouli sir's Yamadonga. I was too happy when I heard about the gigantic project and importance of my role in the film.
That is why I put my Tamil career on hold. We took 7 months to finish Yamadonga and it was worth it.
