Like to challenge myself with different roles: Catherine

Actress Catherine Tresa says she likes to do roles that push
her potential as an artist and proof of it is her character of a village girl
in Tamil forest-based actioner 'Kadamban'.
Predominantly shot in the forest terrains, Catherine says the
experience was 'tough' yet 'exciting'.
'Working on 'Kadamban' was a very new experience; different
from anything I have done so far in my career. It was a hard project, considering
it was shot in the jungle and the conditions were not quite favourable. We could
pull it off because we believed in what we were doing,' Catherine, who
plays a tribal in the film, told IANS.
Elaborating on the 'tough' part of shooting in the
jungle, she said: 'All of us had to shoot barefoot because our characters
didn't require footwear. You can't even walk on this terrain, and you don't
know what will pop out from where.'
It's a story high on emotions, says Catherine, who was moved
by the film's message.
'Beyond the entertainment angle, the message that the
film delivers is very relevant today. We all need to care about nature because
our lives depend on it,' she said, and added that she plays a character
with a lot of scope to perform.
'I don't make a blink-and-you-miss kind of appearance.
I like to challenge myself with different roles and I'm glad 'Kadamban' gave
me that opportunity,' she said.
The film also stars Arya, and Catherine is in awe of his dedication.
'Hard work is an understatement for the effort Arya has
put into the project. From building a muscular body to performing heavy duty
stunts, he gave it his all. As a co-star, he was very friendly, always cracking
jokes,' she added.
Directed by Raghava and produced by R.B. Choudhary, the film
has been dubbed in Telugu as 'Gajendrudu' and will release along with
the Tamil version.
