Renuka Menon is one of the new breed of Malayali actresses who have no second thoughts about doing glamorous roles in Tamil. but things were very different on the sets of her first film.
Couple of years ago, she made her debut in Malayalam. 'Maya Mohita Chandran' was supposed to be her first film. 'Kunhako Boban was the hero of the film. It was going to be a youthful love story. The director didn't want to scare Renuka on her very first day of shooting. So, they decided to shoot some non-touching scenes with her and Kunhako Boban. Renuka was very happy and started to lose her nervousness.
But a rude shock awaited her the next day when she turned up on the sets. The assistant director told her that they were going to film a kissing scene that day. When he started explaining the scene, Renuka began to cry. She just wouldn't kiss Kunhako Boban!
She tried to take the issue up with the producer and the director but they wouldn't relent. Finally, Renuka had to bow to the pressure. She prayed all the Gods and acted in the scene. The moment the director said "Cut!", she broke down and wept.
Well, when we saw the film 'Kalaaba Kadhalan' in Tamil, we couldn't believe our eyes. Was it the same Renuka???
