Chennai, July 21 (NationPress) Malayalam actress Miya George, known for her remarkable roles in both Tamil and Malayalam cinema, recently expressed her heartfelt gratitude on Instagram towards the director of her debut Tamil film, Jeeva Sankar, calling him a significant figure in her career.
In her Instagram post, Miya shared, "After a long eight years, I had the pleasure of meeting my favorite person in the film industry. Let me tell you why @jeevassankar holds a special place in my heart. He was instrumental in my entry into the Tamil film landscape. I collaborated with him on two projects: my very first Tamil film, 'Amarakavyam', and another titled 'Yaman'. He masterfully oversees three critical facets of filmmaking—screenplay, cinematography, and direction. Until my Tamil film debut, I had never encountered anyone managing all these aspects so effectively."
Miya continued, "I am immensely thankful for the character of Karthika in Amarakavyam. The joy I experienced on set and the fulfillment I derived from portraying that role are beyond compare. Although 11 years have passed, the memories remain vivid. The dialogues I memorized are forever embedded in my heart. I still receive messages from the Tamil audience expressing their love for Karthika. Each time I see such messages, along with video compilations from the film, I feel an overwhelming surge of emotion and happiness."
She revealed her tendency to keep items with a personal connection, sharing, "I still have the Amarakavyam script written in Malayalam (to help me memorize it), and the mug I received during the film's promotion, which I frequently use at home."
Miya added, "Receiving accolades like the Behindwoods Gold Medal for Best Actor Critics’ Choice for Karthika was incredibly encouraging. In interviews, when asked about my favorite movie or character, my answer has consistently been Amarakavyam and Karthika. My heartfelt thanks to Jeeva Sankar sir, our producer @aryaoffl, co-actor @thisisshahir, and the entire crew for making this film a remarkable journey."
She concluded her post with, "This movie might not have been everyone's preference at its release, but it remains the finest experience I have ever had. #gratitude
