Sameera happy with her career

The city girl is staying in the 200-year-old fort totally cut off from the outside world with no newspapers or TV for company. “The power sometimes goes off at night and it gets so dark but it’s a beautiful place,” says the actress, adding, “it’s quite tough for a city girl like me. I miss Bombay and I miss eating a hot bhutta at Bandstand when it rains. For me, rain is romance,” says the girl. She continues, “But Nagesh is like that when he shoots a film. He expects his actors to concentrate on their roles and hence takes them away from their natural setting. In this way he takes out great performances from them,” says sexy Sam who’s playing the interesting role of a Dalit woman in the film. “It’s a fiery, character-driven role and I loved the way Nagesh has shaped up the realistic role,” she reveals going all ga-ga over the film.

After playing dumb blonde in Race, Sameera seems to have finally arrived in Bollywood and how! She’ll be seen in Priyadarshan’s next as well as in a film called Red Alert based on the naxalite movement by Aruna Raje. She’s also awaiting the release of her animation film Mahayodha Ram where she’s given a voiceover for Sita.

There’s also Mira Nair’s film Migration in her kitty. Ask her about the sudden change and she replies excitedly, “Race was actually the turning point in my career. It was a challenging role for which I was appreciated a lot. Now I get access to a lot of good roles. I can pick and choose films that are more commercially viable. Basically I want to do work that I’m passionate about. In a way my mindset has changed towards roles and films,” explains Sameera. So has she taken a break from doing movies down South? “I’m also doing films in the South as we can’t overlook their popularity in the world market. In a way, I’m trying to maintain a balance between Bollyood and Tollywood,” she says.
