Swathi act a slum-dweller character in Poraali Movie

Her character in 'Poraali', a Samuthirakani-directed and Sasikumar-starring film has undergone a sea change. As per the initial arrangement, 'Subramanyapuram' girl Swathi was about to play a slum-dweller.
However, her role has now been changed to that of a city resident and the Telugu-speaking actress is happy about both. "Because both the characters are interesting, meaty and challenging as well", she says.
Happy about working with Samuthirakani and Sasikumar again, after the super hit 'Subramanyapuram', Swathi says, "They are great human beings, good friends and thorough professionals".

Explaining as to why a three-year long break in Kollywood, she says, "Many Tamil offers came my way after Subramanyapuram. But frankly speaking, they were identical to the role I played in my debut movie".

Swathi as Slum Girl in Porali

Subramaniapuram’ fame Swathi, who is back in Tamil cinema with ‘Porali’ directed by Samuthirakani, is playing a slum dweller in the film. “It is yet another meaty role for her,” according to unit sources.

“Since she has to speak pucca local Tamil, the Telugu girl is learning the Chennai language. Her character will be very bubbly and will make the audience to laugh out loud,” they add.

‘Porali’, produced by Sasikumar, revolves around five protagonists. “The director has finalised four of them (Sasikumar, Swathi, ‘Allari’ Naresh and Vasundhara) and a hunt is one for the fifth.”

The film, like the previous movies of Sasikumar and Samuthirakani, will have a right mixture of humour, sentiment and action. “The shooting will be completed in 80 days,” says the director.
