Though Mammootty and Prachi Tehlan starrer
Maamaankam has been creating the buzz since last few months, no internal
information about the characters was revealed. But finally, Tehlan – who is
playing the lead opposite the Malayalam megastar – stepped forward to give a
sneak peek of her character and the challenges she faced while portraying it.
“I was doing Ikyawann when I bagged the role of
Unnimaya...Well, that’s the name of my character in the movie,” she revealed
adding, “At that point in time, I had to shoot 12
hours for the show. Despite an already hectic schedule, I was supposed to take
out an hour time to work on dialect as well as learn new forms of classical
dances for Maamaankam. I could hardly find time for myself in that span”.
Getting under the skin of a strong character like
Prachi's, that too for a historically significant film, demanded intense
passion and hard work. The clarity in the language was as much important as the
appropriacy of body language and gestures. Talking about surviving the worst
moments of learning a new language, Prachi said it was extremely challenging.
“The transition from one language to other is not
at all easy and Malayalam being the toughest Indian language adds to the
difficulty. It was very troublesome to get that accent right. Obviously, I
couldn’t get that accent perfectly in such a short span, but lip sync saved me
from the problem. I worked really hard to get the lip sync right.”
Prachi has always believed in stepping outside her
comfort zone and accepting roles that challenge her talent. Signing a movie
like this is one such example of her courage. “It’s a very difficult process to
work in a different environment with so much of cultural difference and
language difference. All in all, it was challenging but I’m surely looking
forward to my schedule which is starting next month.”
