Grace Antony Opens Up: The ‘Heroine’ Tag Was Weighing Me Down | EXCLUSIVE
5 months ago | 5 Views
Grace Antony, a Malayalam actress, has been in the business since 2016 and has, as her name implies, effortlessly switched between starring and supporting roles. But in her next release, which is also her Tamil debut, Grace will be seen in a prominent part in director Ram's picture, shifting between the foreground and backdrop.
"I would consider my major main roles, as well as a few character roles, as significant in Malayalam." I've learned from playing both that the only thing that counts about your role and performance is how much you contribute to the story and how the audience responds, even if you only appear for one shot.
The cause of Grace Antony's aversion to being called a heroine
A label like "heroine" would weigh her down, Grace continues, and an actor should be like water, able to adjust to the role they are assigned to play. The value of an actor's looks is also covered, but she supports her point by stating, "Of course and definitely our physique is important, and if you are healthy, that is ok." But my topic is not beauty standards. When we check in for roles in Malayalam, directors frequently choose performers based on the roles and do not choose a heroine.

Grace says that the process was the same for Ram's Paranthu Po, and all she could think about was what she could contribute to the movie that she hasn't already done in Malayalam. "We should be prepared for the fact that I have only worn makeup in Malayalam a little. You should respect even props and sets since I too come from a dramatic background. A glass can be an important prop in the scene, and is as much a co-star as any other actor.”
Disparities in playing a wife are discussed by Grace.
Grace has portrayed Shiva's wife in Paranthu Po. The actress, who has previously acted alongside a variety of actors, including Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil, and Nivin Pauly, discusses how she adds uniqueness to her roles, even if she plays a wife in each of these films. "Some directors grant us freedom." At Kumbalangi Nights, writer Syam Pushkaran sir will join director Madhu C. Narayanan's set to provide us with impromptu lines, just like popular pancakes. They will provide us with the material and encourage us to use our creativity as well. We have a duty to make sure that we use the space properly and not abuse our freedom. Secondly, it's also shock. Despite the fact that there is the Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham, Nivin and I still improvise on the spot.

She goes on to add about how on the sets of Rorschach, with Mammootty it would be different. “We get to know the energy of the sets in a couple of days, and we get to know how he will work. But on some days, he would be by himself, while sometimes he would sit down us and talk elaborately.”
Coming to Paranthu Po, Grace says that she makes sure she knows what has been shot before or after my scene. “Ram sir narrated the whole script, and on every day of shoot, he would tell me what we are taking. It is also my way of working that I know what has been shot before and after my scene, so that I understand it better,” Grace explains about how it helps her to get working better.
As someone who has tried her hand in comedy, Grace talks about how it is important reactions are important and how a co-star gives and takes, can make or break a comical timing.
