'Director's focus was always…': Meet actress who wore saree without a blouse during entire film, actress is... movie is...
When the Indian cinema was going through a revolutionary period, different directors had a different approach towards their casting. While movies helmed in Bollywood would focus more on male-centric films, whereas in South cinema, the two factors which worked for them like magic were massy action and flashy roles done by actresses. There was a time when directors in the industry hired actresses only for flashy roles, dance numbers, or comedy songs. However, even during those times, there were some actresses who proved that they could do strong characters and turn tables. One such movie was Nireekshana, released in 1982, where actress Archana made sure that even an actress during those times could bag a lead role. She captivated the audience with her beauty and bold performance. Archana has been in the industry for more than 4 decades and during these times she has given several superhit films. Now, Archana's latest movie Shashtipoorthi has hit the big screens today. Before the release of the film, in one of her interviews, Archana opened up about some interesting facts about her film Nireekshana. The actress said, 'I played the role of a tribal girl in that film. For that role, I acted wearing a sari without a blouse. Many people were surprised to know this at that time.' She further added, 'I knew that director Balumahendran's focus is always on acting. I had faith in him, so I did that role. There is never obscenity in his films. It is a matter of pride for me to work with such a director.' Nireekshana turned out to be a huge hit. The movie not only earned praises for itself, but critics also appreciated Archana for her performance.
