Chennai, March 27 Actress Sunainaa has now revealed how she sustained an injury to her face while filming her critically acclaimed movie 'Neerparavai', and how the production team, after having to cancel the shoot on that day, reshot the same scene on another day.
The actress recently chose to answer questions from her fans on social media. When one fan asked her about a specific scene in the movie that required multiple takes, Sunainaa said, "Well… many! Haha. But the final take is the one that counts."
She then went on to mention the critically acclaimed film 'Neerparavai' directed by Seenu Ramasamy, and recounted an incident that occurred while she was filming the movie.
Sunainaa wrote, "For 'Neerparavai', I slipped on the seaweed on the rocks, fell slightly sideways on my face, and injured the area around my chin. Specifically, the lower left side. I still have a small scar on my face
We did multiple takes for the scene, and eventually shot it on another day."She added, "We also cancelled the shoot for that day because my ears were ringing. I covered it up with makeup and went back to shoot the next day. I'll attach a picture."
For those who are unaware, Sunaina, who impressed audiences with her performance in the critically acclaimed Tamil film 'Neerparavai', had made a shocking statement last year that 'Neerparavai' did not lead to more film roles for her, and that, in fact, she lost out on a couple of films after the film's release.
Sunainaa, while answering a question from a follower on her X timeline about her journey from her debut in 'Kaadhalil Vizhunthen' to playing a cameo in 'Theri' and eventually exploring web series, and eventually returning to lead roles in films, had said, "For 'Neerparavai', one of the films I poured my heart and soul into, it didn't lead to more film roles. Many people looked at the makeup in the film and felt it wasn't "cute" enough for that era, especially when mass commercial films were dominating."
She continued, "In fact, I lost two films after the release. One of them is a strange story that I might tell someday… That led to a break, almost like a gap in my career. But it's okay. Because it gave me clarity about the mentality I was surrounded by. I didn't hold back. I continued exploring, trying different mediums, simply because I was excited to do varied roles despite this. And eventually, I brought myself back. I evolved so much during this time, it taught me a lot about the world and the industry."
Her statement left many in the industry surprised, as her performance in the film was so impressive that even the film's director, Seenu Ramasamy, had publicly stated that he believed she would win a National Award for it.
Now, the actress has revealed for the first time that she sustained an injury to her face while filming the movie.
