“It’s only for Kamal’s friendship” - Jayapradha

‘Ninaithale Inikkum’ was a superhit film of yore directed by Iyakkunar Sigaram K Balachander which had super star Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Jeyaprada in the lead roles. This threesome combination worked wonders at the box office and music played a major role in the success of the film.

After many years, this famous trio came together on the stage for the launch of P Vasu’s Thottal Poo Malarum and were reminiscing their good old days with pleasant nostalgia. During such an informal chat, Kamal was reportedly heard asking Jeyaprada if she would feature in his upcoming Dasavatharam. This was a pleasant shock to this beautiful actress who has the unique distinction of being called the ‘Classical Beauty’ by none other than the doyen of Indian cinema Sathyajit Ray.

Not wanting to refuse Kamal, Jeyaprada has immediately agreed and plays a meaty role in his Dasavatharam. The moment film world smelt of Jeyaprada’s reentry, she has been flooded with offers from Telugu and Tamil films, but the Samajwadi MP has politely declined all the offers. She was alleged to have told that it is only because of the friendship that she shares with Kamal, she had agreed to smear the grease paint once again but otherwise, her heart lies completely with social service and active politics only.
