Now you are alone. Are you feeling lonely?
Mother and brother are staying with me. All my relatives in Chandigarh are asking me to come back. But I don’t have the mind to leaver Chennai. I feel a little peaceful. I am thinking of the good things when I am alone. I can decide my personal matters as well as matters regarding to my work. No body can interfere in my matters. In one way this freedom is really good. I know that I cannot be alone for many years.
It seems that you were very confused during the divorce period?
There was lot of confusions. There was a lot of struggle within myself whether to unite or reunite. Since this is my life, I made a stern decision to divorce. I felt what ever happens is good for me. I am trying to come out of the relationship totally. The only thing that is running in mind is what is next.
What’s next?
I have listened to two stories. Shortly I will be acting in two films. Lot of women is taking lot of efforts to get the offers. Even I struggled a lot in the initial days. After getting a place for me in Tamil cinema I was little upset when I got married because I was not able retain that place. Now I am happy that I am going to act again. My mother’s dream is that I should become an actress. But I was not interested in acting. After divorce, I am seriously taking up to acting.
Are you getting a lot of offers like before?
Now I am not Mrs Selvaraghavan any more. Lots of producers are approaching me with their stories as Sonia Agarwal only. There is no dilemma in this. I am single now.
There is news that you are acting in Malayalam films?
These are pure rumors. I am not acting in any Malayalam films. My re-entry will be through Tamil films only.
In recent times, you can be seen in lot of parties?
Going to parties is my favorite pastime. After marriage I have stopped going to parties. Now it is party time again for me.
Sweet memories of your past relationship?
There a lot of things. The relationship itself is a sweet memory.

Though the individuals salaries have gone up, the box office collections are not so good. Chennai, Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram Distributors Council President Kalaipuli G Sekaran while speaking said,” That out of 131 films released last year, only films Ayan, Nadodigal and Padikadhavan were successful. Films like Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Maayandi Kudumbathar, Siva Manasula Sakthi, Peranmai and Pasanga just recovered the money they had invested. All the other films were utter flops.”
This is Tamil Ravanan’s story. Prithviraj is an upright pole officer. He loves the classical dance Aishwarya Rai and gets married. After marriage, he has been transferred to a different place. He settles with his wife there.
But there is no law and order there. The area is a tribal area. The headman Vikram is everything there. No one respects law and order. So Prithviraj feels that he can bring back law and order only if he finishes of Vikram. So he goes into the jungles in search of him.
The struggle which takes between Aishwarya Rai, Vikram and Prithviraj in the jungles is the story.
Though Manirathnam said that this is not a naxalites story, there is a talk that this film is about the naxalites leader Kobad Ghandy.
While shooting in Hoganekkal, Abhishek Bachchan had jumped from a height of 90 feet into the water. He had jumped in spite of Aishwarya Rai and Manirathnam’s objections. The Insurance company had also warned that they will not pay any compensation if anything adverse happens.
The climax fighting scene was shot in a bridge. Since the bridge was a set, this fighting scene in Tamil and Hindi should be shot quickly. Vikram finished the fighting scenes as Veera In Tamil and as Dev in Hindi film within one hour, since the bridge will not withstand.
