As per a report in Hindustan Times, Malavika talked about how she had to visit at least 5 doctors after shooting outdoors in Kolar for her upcoming film Thangalaan.
She said, “I visited at least five doctors, including a dermatologist and an eye doctor. I had rashes after being in makeup for 10 hours. We were also exposed to the sun a lot during the shoot. Of course, you don’t have the time to think about it then, but later you see burn marks here and there.”
Further, the actress recalled when the director Pa Ranjith informed her that Malavika had to ride on a buffalo for a scene. At first, she thought that it was a joke but later she performed the scene.
“There was a scene with a buffalo. I was getting ready to shoot and saw it. Ranjith sir asked me if I like it. When I said yes, he asked me to go sit on it. I thought he was joking, but he asked me again. Finally, I went and sat on it,” Malavika added.
