After 28 years and 225 movies, of which 95 are in Telugu, Suhasini has chosen Bommarillu, a game show on TV as her comeback in Telugu land. And it’s not the lack of good roles that forced her to choose TV over films. “You will not see me in fiction, especially if it’s on TV. Television is still in its nascent stages, and the quality dished out makes one cringe. In films too, the choice is less. I can’t play the predictable mother who helps the hero fall in love, that’s not me,” she says.
Suhasini knows her Telugu audience well and knows exactly what clicks with them. And that’s why she believes her comeback show will be a bigger success than Amitabh Bachchan’s KBC. “I may not be as tall as the Big B or as big a star as Shah Rukh, but my show, where winners will walk away with a dream house, will be bigger than Kaun Banega Crorepati.” Mani Ratnam recently lost his brother in an accident and Suhasini’s ailing father is now under her care. These personal tragedies have kept her busy, but the cause of education is something she always has time for. “Recently, a girl whose education I sponsored got a job in Infosys.”
