“Everybody loved the film, everybody raved about my performance. I am yet to sign a film. Because when a woman does a strong role that asks uncomfortable questions, they couldn’t accept it” the actress says in the event that took place on Women’s day.

“I can look hot, sexy and I can act also. Don’t ask me to come on screen and jiggle my butt and wear revealing clothes and be happy with that. I am not going to be happy with that. I can do a scene on screen where I am naked and it will have more relevance than women who say that I will not do kissing scenes but who are ultimately objectifying themselves on screen. That is the primary issue I have with Tamil cinema and it is slowly changing now” the actress said. 

Further Andrea said that heroines are forced to do films with top actors before establishing themselves. “Deepika Padukone had to do films with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Paduokne to become what she is today. Nayanthara has to do films with Vijay, Ajith, Suirya, Rajini, then she becomes Nayanthara. Why can’t I just do strong roles and become an established actress ?? Why does the worth of an actress have to determined by her co-stars ? Why can’t a heroine do one strong role and become a huge heroine ?” questioned Andrea and said that Tamil cinema is a male driven industry.
