Meera Nandan speaks on Ayyanar

Meera Nandan of Valmiki fame is one excited person these days! The audio of her next project Ayyanar was released recently and the film is�expected to grace theatres soon. “My role in Ayyanar,�directed by Rajamitran, is very different from my role in Valmiki. I play Anita, a college student who is into volleyball and Aadhi plays the coach. Anita meets the coach by accident; initially, she has a very bad impression about him and suspects his intentions. However, she ends up being the only person with whom he shares all his problems,” she said to a leading English daily.

“The real Meera is very different from Anita? I’m not a sports person in real life. In fact, I don’t even know to catch a ball hurled at me. But that was one reason why I was so particular about playing this character. I wanted to take it up as a challenge. In fact, I was trained by a state-level volleyball player in Chennai for a few days,” she added.
