Actress Sowcar Janaki
The senior actor has given the nod to play a part in director Raj Mohan’s next, Vaanavaraayan Vallavaraayan, with actor Krishna in the lead.
It has been 13 years since Thodarum, a movie with Ajith in the lead, hit screens.and ‘Sowcar’ Janaki, who played an important role in that movie, did not accept any movie offer after that.
But now, the senior actor has given the nod to play a part in director Raj Mohan’s next, Vaanavaraayan Vallavaraayan, with actor Krishna in the lead.
Janaki, who is 81 years old, has issued a statement that she accepted the role after the filmmaker convinced her that she would play a role that completely suits her age. The senior artiste has done 385 films so far.

Bold step by Ms.Sowcar Janaki. Best wishes. I wonder how many of our present heroines will be able to even get up and walk at the age of 81 let alone acting. V.Sivasubramaniam
