Meera Vasudevan was born in the Year of the Dog. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. Once, I took him to an open set and he kept looking everywhere for my ‘office’ (laughs).Meera Vasudevan’s zodiac sign is Aquarius. Sometimes I take my son to the sets, and this can be a little tricky. Whenever I have to go for a shoot, I tell him that I’m going to my ‘office’. If a shoot is happening somewhere other than Kochi, I start early in the morning and get back at night. And the film crews I’ve worked with have always been very supportive. When asked how she balances work and family, she says, “I always try to make sure that I get back on time and attend to my son’s needs. Not once did he complain or make any sort of fuss during the shooting.” Working with Sreenivasan was a dream come true for Meera, who found the actor’s patience admirable. Dhyan Sreenivasan and Durga Krishna play the younger selves of the actors. Kutty Mama, directed by VM Vinu, will see Meera opposite Sreenivasan for the first time. It made me wonder if I had ever been that way with my own son or I would become that way in the future.” “It’s quite a complex character with negative shades. In Appuvinte Sathyanveshanam, directed by Sohanlal, she plays the mother of an 8-year-old. Everything is expressed in a subtle manner.” For example, in Silencer, it was all about body language it’s not a loud performance. Being a non-Malayali sometimes has its advantages. For some performances, it’s all about the way you express your character’s emotions and not about the language or dialect they’re using.

Though I wasn’t sure about it initially, they encouraged me to go ahead saying it would sound natural given my character’s Bengaluru connection. In fact, for Kutty Mama, the director suggested that I dub for the character. “I’m more comfortable with the language now than I was before. Though Meera’s mother tongue is Tamil, she tells us she has been able to develop a fairly strong grip on Malayalam over the years.
