Sai Pallavi Says Director Rajkumar Periasamy Believed in Her Police Role in ‘OM’ More Than She Did

Actress Sai Pallavi, who plays an IPS officer in the Dhanush-Mammootty starrer ‘OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood’, says that the film’s director Rajkumar Periasamy believed in her police role more than she believed in herself.

Participating in a grand audio launch event of the film, which was held at the Sairam Engineering College on Friday, Sai Pallavi said, “Rajkumar sir is amazing. I told him in the previous film that I want to be a part of his next film. Thundu potu vechen (I had booked a place). But he really made it for me. He believed in my police role more than me. Thanks to all those who worked on the stunt sequences, it was a great experience. Rajkumar sir has written the character with lots of layers. He is every actress’s dream director, the way he writes his women characters rocks.”
