Padmapriya to focus on new films in 2014

Having taken a sabbatical last year to complete her masters in public administration in New York University on a merit scholarship, popular actress Padmapriya is seeking to move beyond what she has done professionally by starring afresh in 2014.

“My sole objective is to move beyond what I have done professionally. To create a new resume of films and expressions is the only focal point for 2014 for me.

She returned two months ago and has been hearing a lot of scripts but declined to elaborate. “Professionally, I haven’t done any film in 2013 as I was studying in NYU. I did do some student films for my friends in Tisch School (film school at NYU) but nothing other than that.”

The feature film ‘Papilio Buddha’ dealing with discrimination against landless Dalits, shot in Wayanad in Kerala directed by Jayan and ‘Thangameengal’, directed by Ram, were guest appearances done much before she left for the US.
