- Mamitha Baiju acted with Vijay in Jana Nayagan and Suriya in Vishwanath And Sons
- She felt fortunate to get a significant role in Jana Nayagan
- Vijay’s attention to detail and encouragement enhanced Mamitha’s filming experience
Mamitha Baiju has had an exciting run in Tamil cinema with two major projects allowing her to work alongside two of the industry's biggest stars. The actor shared screen space with Vijay in Jana Nayagan and has also featured alongside Suriya in Vishwanath And Sons.
Looking back on these collaborations, Mamitha admitted that she feels incredibly fortunate to have been part of such high-profile films. She added that even landing a small role in them would have been a lucky opportunity.
“When I first heard the story of Jana Nayagan, I knew it was a Vijay film. Even getting a small role in it would have been lucky. But after hearing the story, I realised that the role offered to me was not that small and that I had a big opportunity ahead of me," Mamitha said in an interview, as quoted by Etimes.
The actor also credited Vijay for making the experience memorable. She recalled how the actor's keen eye for detail and constant encouragement went beyond what happened in front of the camera. “He notices even the smallest things. His support in front of and behind the camera was huge. I learnt many new things through the experience,” she added.
Mamitha further spoke about how her collaboration with Suriya holds a special place in her heart. The actor shared that she has admired him since her school days and even recalled missing the chance to meet him when he visited Kochi for a promotional event.
“I am a huge fan of Suriya sir. When I was in high school, he had come to Lulu Mall in Kochi for a film promotion. I really wanted to see him, but I could not travel from Kottayam to Kochi that day. My brother met him and took photographs with him,” she recalled.
"Today, I feel proud that I got to act with the same Suriya sir in a film and also attend the promotional event at Lulu Mall. These are the moments that make me happy as an actor,” Mamitha added.
Following her Tamil projects, Mamitha Baiju is set to return to Malayalam cinema with Girish AD's Bethlehem Kudumba Unit. The actor will be seen as the female lead opposite Nivin Pauly in the upcoming romantic comedy.
