Ashika was also a contestant on Asianet’s Dancing Stars program recently.
Now, a film with Ashika as the heroine is gearing up for release. Actress Sanju Somnath is playing another lead role in the film titled Missing Girl. Sanju Somnath aka Sanuja is an actor who has come before the audience through serials. Both are busy promoting the film. Meanwhile, the words they said in an interview are attracting attention.
They say that actresses coming to the film industry will definitely have to face the casting couch. They also say that there are exploitations in one way or another in other fields besides cinema. Read in detail.
‘I have faced the casting couch. I don’t think there is anyone who hasn’t faced it. It depends on how it is handled. Everyone has to face that. There is nothing we can do to change the industry. If it is a casting couch in the film industry, if it is in any other job outside, there are many others. This is not only in cinema, but in every field,”
‘Be it modeling or aviation, why is it even in politics? Everyone has to face in the modeling field. Not just for girls. Exploitation is very common. It is not gender specific. One way or another it is happening,’ said Ashika and Sanju Somanath.
Both of them also talk about entering the film industry. ‘I had no such idea until my second year of college. I was the guy who didn’t even come in front of the camera. He was a very insecure person who thought that I was not worth seeing. He was someone who would not leave even if friends called him to take a selfie,’
‘I had a classmate in college at that time. She is the one who tells me to do videos musically. Not Tik Tok then. I would think a hundred times to post that one video. After getting good comments for it, I slowly started being active on Instagram.
After that I got an opportunity in a short film. It got good reach. Then two or three short films. That’s how we got here,’ said Ashika.
‘I don’t get an entry through social media. I think I can get into this after completing my degree and PG. Miniscreen was my guide at that time. I am coming to this through miniscreen,’ said Sanju Somnath.
Missing Girl is a film produced by Ousepachan Valakuzhi, TB Vinod and Santosh Puthan under the banner of Fine Films. Directed by debutant Abdul Rasheed, the film will hit the theaters on May 12. The screenplay is written by newcomers Vishal Viswanathan and Afzal K Aziz. This is also a film where new faces are coming in every field.
