Padma priya learns Kalari !
Pazhasi Raja is an upcoming historical Malayalam film where Mammootty plays the lead role. The plum role of the queen in the film was offered to Padmapriya but with one condition that she should be well versed in Kalari payattu, the martial art form of Kerala. Unfortunately, the doe eyed beauty is not familiar with Kalari and hence she is doing the role of a tribal woman in the film.
But Padmapriya not to be bogged down by the change of role has gone ahead and enrolled herself for Kalari classes. Presently she is taking her Kalari lessons from Mr. Soman at the Martial Arts Academy at Trivandrum. While talking about her Kalari lessons the actress says, “I feel bad about losing on the queen role as I did not know Kalari. But all the same I do not want to lose out on such good roles in future. That’s the reason I am learning Kalari now. Though it is very tough to learn this martial art, I am confident that I’ll get trained in three months”. An interesting trivia about this film is that Sarthkumar will be doing a small cameo in Pazhasi Raja.
