Vimala: Slow and sure strides

Vimala Raman endeared herself to�audiences in Raman Thedia Seethai after her prosaic start in Poi. While teaming up with Cheran, Vimala's acting skills�came to the fore in RTS. By her own admission,�this was the best role in her fledgling career.

Turning to glamour in Telugu, Vimala raised a few eyebrows when she sported a bikini in Lover Boy�paired with Tarun. “In a full-fledged glamour role, the bikini part was in the script. I see the movie as a�seachange from my Tamil films. I cannot complain of lack of variety,” says Vimala.

The lithe girl said�Sandalwood doors are opening for her after the impact of Aptharaksha in a suspense-filled character. “When the director is P. Vasu, the impact is much faster,” Vimala said, with a twinkle in her eyes.

Nursing a tinge of regret in not getting the right kind of roles in Tamil, Vimala is prepared to wait. Patience is the key to success is�the advice K. Balachander (director of Poi)�gave her.
