What role could a morning show superstar have in a college story? She runs a tea stall in front of the college!
The shooting is happening in Tarangambadi near Mayiladuthurai. The first choice for the tea stall lady was Sivakasi Jayalakshmi. Many tried to make her story into a film after putting the police department in lockup. Jayalakshmi did not agree to it. Finally after being repeatedly bothered, she asked for half the superstar's fee as royalty for her story. After that, no one approached Jayalakshmi for cinema!
Because of her 'closeness' to cinema, people asked her if she would act in films. Before she could agree, there's news in a magazine called Jayalakshmi in 'Pazhaniappa Kalloori.' She did not turn up at the shooting spot, so Shakila was signed on for the role.
In our films, a tea stall lady worker is usually shown as a Malayali wearing no drape over the chest. If Shakila is shown like that in 'Pazhaniappa Kalloori'? Oh, Lord help us!
