“The response I have been getting for ‘Jaganmohini’ is overwhelming. It is all due to my Machans (fans). I am indebted a lot to them,” says Namitha, who claims that the movie is a huge hit.

“"I am thrilled to be part of such a venture. There is everything that an actress could aspire for in a movie. The whole film revolves around me. My thanks to director Viswanathan and producer Murali,” she says.

“The film is like a folk tale narrated by our grandparents. It sounded like an experiment to me. I agreed to do it immediately when I was asked. The producer and director are so passionate about the film and I predicted its success,” the actress says.

Heaping laurels on Viswanathan, she says, “He is a skilled technician. He has in-depth knowledge in visual effects and other technical nuances. I feel proud to work in his direction.”

Namitha played the role enacted by Jeyamalini in the original of the same title directed by Vittalacharya.
