Snehas right lessons
Sneha is thrilled with the success of Pallikoodam. She played the matured role of a school teacher in the movie and her performance has gone down well with the audience. Happy at the positive reviews for her performance in the movie, Sneha says, "All credit should go to Thangar Bachchan for getting the best out of me". "It was a challenging character for me since I have to don two different roles, both as a teacher and as alumni of the same school. The character had no glamour, but was fully wrapped with opportunities to perform. I think I had done full justice to it". Sneha feels every actress should get such an opportunity to play such roles. It would bring their best out. On her forthcoming films, she says, "In Pirivom Santhipom, I play a village girl. In Inbaa, I am doing the role of a bubbly city girl opposite Sham. In addition, I am acting opposite Mammootty in Aruvadai, a film which has a patriotic theme".
