Sneha’s loss is Sandhya’s gain

Sandhya, who shot to fame through Kadhal (Tamil) and made her debut in Kannada through Nanda, is all excited o act in Aptharakshaka, the sequel to Apthamithra. Earlier, Sneha who was the first choice for the film, opted out and Sandhya was chosen to reprise the role that Soundarya did in the first part.

“Sneha’s dates weren’t available and that’s how I got it,” Sandhya said. She admits that she has not seen Apthamithra. "I’ve watched the original Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu. Though I’ve not watched the Kannada version, I’ve always enjoyed watching Soundarya in all her films. Jyotika’s acting in Chandramukhi was also good. Not everyone gets to do such a daring role. It’s a great comeback vehicle for me.”

Now the role in the earlier version needed dancing skills and Sandhya who has learned classical dance for a year, is confident that she can pull it off. “I’ll do it in my style. As people are still raving about Soundarya’s role, I’ll give it my best,” she added.
