Kavya Madhavan is the best actress in the Malayalam film industry. Having started her career as a child artiste, she literally grew up in the industry.
Her biggest hit -- also the biggest hit in the history of Malayalam films -- is Lal Jose's Classmates. Her most acclaimed role was the one in Kamal's Perumazhakkalam.
In fact, some believe she outperformed the National Award winning actress Meera Jasmine in the film with her subtle and understated performance.
Then came Santosh Sivan's first directorial venture in Malayalam, Ananthabhadram, where she looked most beautiful.
Unlike her contemporaries like Meera Jasmine, Bhavana, Asin, and Nayanthara who migrated to other south Indian languages, she has stuck with Malayalam.
Now the greatest filmmaker himself, Adoor Gopalakrishnan has chosen her for a role in Nitya Kanyaka.
Bubbling with excitement, the actress shares her thoughts with rediff.com. Read on.
