Miss India Title Not The Road To Films: Parvathy Omanakuttan
News

By Ians English
Former
Indian
beauty
queen
Parvathy
Omanakuttan,
who
will
soon
be
seen
in
Pizza,
says
the
Miss
India
platform
is
no
longer
a
stepping
stone
for
models
to
enter
filmdom.
Parvathy
was
crowned
Miss
India
in
2008.
Asked
if
she
chose
to
enter
the
Miss
India
contest
to
eventually
be
part
of
movies.
She
said,
"Miss
India
is
no
longer
a
pathway
to
films.
It's
no
longer
a
formula
that
you
get
into
Miss
India,
and
then
into
acting."
Many
believe
models
can't
act,
but
Parvathy
says
acting
is
not
something
that
can
be
taught.
"It's
very
easy
for
people
to
write
that
'She
does
not
know
how
to
act'.
But
I
think
acting
is
something
you
cannot
teach;
you
cannot
inject
someone
with
acting
skills.
There
are
lot
of
people
who
belong
to
film
background,
but
are
not
as
good
as
their
ancestors
and
some
are
exceptionally
good," she
said.
Her
new
movie
Pizza
is
a
horror
film,
and
Parvathy
says
Hindi
cinema
does
not
have
too
many
horror
films.
"I
personally
love
watching
horror
films,
but
unfortunately,
Hindi
does
not
have
too
many
horror
film,
not
many
experiments
are
done
with
this
genre.
The
one
Hindi
film
that
really
scared
me
is
'Raat'
(1992).
The
technical
aspect
of
that
film
was
very
sound
at
that
point
of
time
and
with
'Pizza'
we
are
going
to
bring
that
level
up
with
3D
and
VFX," she
said.
Directed
by
Akshay
Akkineni
and
produced
by
Bejoy
Nambiar,
Pizza
features
Akshay
Oberoi
as
the
male
lead.
