Manisha
Koirala
had
acted
in
the
female
lead
roles
in
blockbuster
films
Bombay
and
Mudhalvan.
Lastly,
she
was
spotted
performing
female
lead
opposite
Superstar
Rajnikanth
in
Baba
and
later
avoided
acting
in
Tamil
films
as
she
concentrated
in
Hindi
films.
After
a
long
gap
she
is
back
in
Tamil
film
through
Mappillai,
which
is
a
remake
of
yesteryear
super
hit
film
with
the
same
title.
Manish
Koirala
is
donning
the
role
of
Dhanush"s
mother-in-law
in
this
film.
When
asked
he
whether
she
was
disappointed
donning
the
role
of
an
elderly
mother-in-law
role,
she
said,"
I
always
feel
that
I
am
an
actress
first.
Earlier
I
had
acted
as
mother
of
two
children
in
the
film
Bombay.
I
was
22
years
old
then.
Now
I
am
not
disappointed
doing
the
role
of
mother-in-law.
It
is
most
pleasurable
experience
acting
in
Mappillai.
Dhanush
is
a
talented
actor.
He
works
very
hard.
I
have
not
seen
the
whole
film
of
Rajni
starrer
Mappillai.
I
had
seen
only
some
few
scenes.
I
don"t
want
to
reflect
the
character
precisely.
I
am
doing
this
role
in
my
own
style.
Adding
more,
she
uttered,
“I
am
happy
that
I
am
back
in
Tamil
films.
I
met
my
old
friend
Aravind
Swamy.
I
relished
the
Chettinad
food
dishes.
I
went
to
Tirupathi
temple.
I
had
bought
lot
of
clothes.
There
was
a
lot
of
gap
in
Tamil
films
after
Baba.
I
did
not
act
in
Tamil
films
because
I
did
not
get
good
stories.
I
have
got
a
meatier
role
in
Mappillai.
I
have
also
been
signed
for
a
Malayalam
film."
