Actress
Anusree
says
that
she
started
smoking
cigarettes
for
the
perfection
of
her
character
in
the
movie
Ithihasa.
Anusree
opened
up
about
her
experiences
while
doing
Ithihasa,
in
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
daily.
The
actress
states
that
she
has
turned
into
a
skilful
smoker
after
the
long
filming
schedule.
Anusree
is
receiving
highly
positive
reviews
for
her
terrific
performance
in
Ithihasaand
is
referred
as
the
next
“Action
Heroine”
of
Mollywood.
The
actress
played
Alby,
a
young
man
who
unknowingly
gets
the
physical
appearance
of
a
girl
named
Janaki.
As
the
character
is
a
pick-pocket,
who
drinks,
smokes
and
often
indulge
in
fights,
it
demanded
Anusree
to
show
the
body
language
of
a
real
man;
which
was
a
bit
hard
for
the
actress.
It
is
doubtless
that
Anusree
has
done
a
fantastic
job
in
the
movie;
as
the
audience
and
critics
are
equally
praising
the
actress
for
her
flexible
acting
skills.
The
actress
is
often
compared
to
the
popular
actress
Uravashi,
for
her
impeccable
comic
timing
and
versatility.
According
to
her
mentor,
director
Lal
Jose,
Anusree
is
one
of
the
finest
actresses
of
current
generation.
Anusree
was
the
winner
of
the
acting
reality
show
Vivel
Active
Fair
Big
Break,
and
thus
won
the
chance
to
play
the
lead
role
in
Lal
Jose
directed
Diamond
Necklace.
Her
portrayal
of
Rajasree,
an
innocent
yet
talkative
village
girl,
earned
rave
reviews.
She
later
earned
popularity
with
her
works
in
the
movies
such
as
Red
Wine,
Left
Right
Left
and
Angry
Babies.
