When
it
comes
to
portraying
a
serious
character
with
a
shaved
head
on
screen,
it's
hard
to
fake.
A
few
actress
actresses
like
Shabana
Azmi
and
Nandita
Das
had
shaved
their
head
for
the
roles
in
their
films
but
many
would
not
do
so.
Now,
it
is
the
turn
of
actress
Padmapriya.
She
will
play
a
Buddhist
monk
in
the
upcoming
Mammootty
film
Kutty
Shranku,
directed
by
Shaji
N.
Karun,
tonsuring
her
head
for
the
role.
It
is
heard
that
the
actress
has
been
working
seriously
on
understanding
her
character
and
is
reading
a
lot
of
Buddhist
books
to
get
a
firm
hold
of
the
character
she
is
to
play.
Sources
said
that
numerous
actresses
were
considered
for
the
role,
but
all
of
them
had
problems
with
the
tonsuring
part.
Maybe
Padmapriya,
who
seems
to
be
concentrating
in
Malayalam
films,
will
launch
a
flagging
career
in
Malayalam
with
her
bold
decision
to
have
her
head
shaved
on
screen.
We
wish
you
the
best,
Padmapriya!
