Kollywood Hotshots

Meera had approached the Kerala High Court saying that she should be granted exemption from making a personal appearance in the court, on the summons issued by CJM.
However, the High Court has rejected her appeal and asked her to be present at the court on or before August 8.

Malayalam producer and director KA Devarajan had filed a case against her that she had taken an advance of Rs 5 lakhs from him to do the film Swapnamalika, but failed to honour her commitment.

Meera's argument in the case is that after signing the contract, Devarajan had changed the story and started making the film with another heroine.

Meera was recently seen in Tamil films like Penn Singam and Ilanjian, both written by former chief minister M Karunanidhi.

The Malayalam actress is no longer doing films in her mother tongue and has two films to be released in Tamil, Mambattiyan and Adhinarayana.

The film Malaiyur Mambattiyan was remade in Telugu film which had Krishnamraju in the lead role, in Kannada which had Ambareesh and in Hindi which had Rajnikanth. Now this film is being remade in Tamil.

I am donning the role which Thyagarajan did in the original version. Meera Jasmine is donning the role which Saritha did and Mallika Sherawat is donning the role which Silk Smitha did.

We are holding a contest to guess that who is the music composer of this film. The person who guesses it correct will be given a prize by the music composer who had composed music for this film on the audio launch function.

The story and scenes will not be the same as in the original version. We have changed the screenplay to suit the present day trend. Modern graphics scenes will feature in this film.”

"Glamour is not a criterion for success in films. If a girl has a beautiful face, she can become a heroine and if she has a perfect physique, it would be an additional qualification. When you prove that you can perform well on screen, it would cover all other aspects," she was quoted as saying.

Talking about today's showing more interest in skin show and craving for size zero, Meera said, "Of course, a heroine who wants to remain in the acting profession for some time should show some interest in her physique and should do regular exercises. Though I don’t crave for massages, I too take some precautions for a charming face and use natural spices like turmeric, etc."
