Actress
Meenakshi
Dixit,
who
is
impressed
by
the
spate
of
recent
Tamil
films,
feels
the
industry
is
always
ready
to
push
the
envelope
in
terms
of
content,
which
places
it
globally
next
to
Hollywood.
"In
the
last
few
years,
Tamil
film
industry
has
been
constantly
experimenting.
Their
willingness
to
experiment
has
paid
off
well.
Globally,
the
industry,
in
my
opinion,
deserves
to
be
placed
next
to
Hollywood," Meenakshi
told
IANS.
Last
seen
in
Tamil
period
comedy
Thenaliraman,
Meenakshi's
next
release
will
be
horror-drama
Bayam
Oru
Payanam.
Talking
about
the
film,
Meenakshi
said:
"This
is
my
first
tryst
with
the
horror
genre.
Although
I
don't
play
the
ghost,
I
essay
a
very
real
and
emotional
character
in
the
film,"
she
said,
adding
that
she
plays
a
housewife
and
a
mother
and
that
the
story
is
about
the
"journey
of
emotions".
Not
a
fan
of
the
horror
genre,
Meenakshi
says
she
had
to
cope
with
the
character's
hangover.
"I'm
a
thinker.
Everything
that
I
read,
see
and
experience
goes
directly
to
my
head.
And
even
without
my
knowledge,
I
start
thinking
about
it.
It
wasn't
easy
to
detach
from
the
character,"
she
said.
In
the
film,
which
is
directed
by
Manisharma,
Vishakha
Singh
plays
the
ghost.
"It's
not
your
regular
horror
comedy.
This
is
a
very
serious,
character-driven
film
with
twists
and
turns,"
she
added.
Meenakshi
also
has
Tamil
film
Takkar
and
a
Kannada
film
Local
Train
under
her
belt.
