Prachi Tehlan set for Malayalam debut

Actress Prachi Tehlan, who was seen in films like 'Arjan' opposite Roshan Prince, directed by Manduip Singh.

She was also seen essaying a starring role in 'Bailaras' opposite Binnu Dhillon. Now, got a chance to work with superstar Mammootty in the upcoming film 'Mamangam.'

"Working with Mammootty sir was like a dream come true. He is one of the most respected actors of our country - an actor who has worked in more than 400 films in his approximately 50 years long career. Besides, he is a wonderful human being and is immensely humble.

"There were a lot of things that I learned from him, such as discipline, punctuality, motivating co-actors on the sets, being high-on-energy all the time and simplicity in talking. He is extremely down to earth and he shows the same amount of respect and love to all the actors," Prachi said.

Set in the 17th century, 'Mamangam,' directed by M Padmakumar, is based on the medieval fair by the same name, which was celebrated every 12 years from 800 AD to 1755 AD.

Becoming an actor was never on Prachi's dream list. "Acting just happened out of the blue. It was never planned."
