Actress
Madonna
Sebastian,
who
is
making
her
Tamil
debut
with
Kadhalum
Kadhandu
Pogum,
says
that
although
she
prefers
being
part
of
content-driven
films
that
require
her
to
perform
subtly,
she
can't
say
no
to
"masala" films.
"Personally,
I
enjoy
being
part
of
films
where
I'm
not
just
a
pretty
face
and
have
a
solid
role.
I
like
to
perform
subtly,
express
using
my
eyes
and
smile.
Though
commercial
cinema
doesn't
offer
you
scope
to
do
such
things,
I
can't
say
no
to
masala
films," Madonna
told
IANS.
She
also
said
she
can't
turn
down
an
offer
to
work
with
a
star.
"It's
in
these
masala
films
that
you
get
to
work
with
stars.
How
can
I
say
no
to
working
with
them?
My
latest
Tamil
release
'Kadhalum
Kadhandu
Pogum' features
Vijay
Sethupathi
who
I
really
admire.
I
just
couldn't
miss
an
opportunity
to
work
with
him,"
she
said.
In
Kadhalum
Kadhandu
Pogum,
which
released
in
cinemas
today
(March
11),
she
plays
a
role
named
Yazhini,
who
works
in
the
Information
Technology
world.
"It's
a
simple
love
story
of
a
boy
and
a
girl
who,
by
the
time
they
realise
and
fall
in
love,
the
film
ends
and
they
never
get
to
live
happily
ever
after.
Still,
this
is
a
fun
film
and
there's
nothing
tragic
about
the
story," she
said.
The
film
is
the
official
remake
of
South
Korean
entertainer
My
Dear
Desperado.
Madonna
has
watched
the
original
and
she
feels
the
Nalan
Kumarasamy-directed
Tamil
version
is
much
better.
"Nalan
has
made
it
livelier,
which
makes
the
remake
not
a
frame-to-frame
copy
of
the
original.
The
localisation
of
the
content
has
worked
very
well
and
even
those
who
have
watched
the
Korean
version
will
love
the
Tamil
remake
more," she
said.
Talking
about
her
co-star
Vijay
Sethupathi,
she
said:
"It
took
time
for
both
of
us
to
get
talking
on
the
sets.
I've
learnt
from
him
that
it's
important
to
match
the
wavelength
of
one's
co-star
while
performing
and
his
valuable
input
really
benefited
me."
Most
popular
for
playing
the
character
Celine
from
last
year's
Malayalam
blockbuster
Premam,
Madonna
feels
the
success
of
the
film
has
already
made
her
a
known
face
in
Tamil
industry.
"We
knew
'Premam'
was
a
good
film.
However,
none
of
us
expected
it
to
do
so
well.
People
still
call
me
Celine
wherever
I
go,
which
only
shows
how
much
they
love
me.
Slowly,
they
are
getting
used
to
my
real
name," she
said.
Not
in
a
hurry
to
sign
new
projects,
she
will
join
the
sets
of
the
Telugu
remake
of
Premam
from
next
week.
