Actress Oviya is in love. But no, it’s not with a person. The girl is in love with the locales in Theni, where she shot extensively for her upcoming film Madha Yanai Kootam. “This was the first time I was shooting there. Theni was so beautiful.
The people there and the way they treat others was superb,” she smiles. Oviya plays a Malayali girl in this film and one of the reasons she took up the offer was because she got to play a Malayali for the first time.

Oviya, who has Moodar Koodam and Pulival lined up, says that she does not want to be stereotyped in the film industry. “I don’t want to have an image, in the sense that I’ll do a certain kind of characters. That’s why I want to mix and match. While I play a music student in Madha Yanai Kootam, I have a glam avatar in Pulival,” she adds.
