The first look of Andrea Jeremiah’s character from upcoming Tamil horror-thriller Pisasu 2 was unveiled on the occasion of her birthday recently. Now, Andrea has revealed the story behind her look in the movie and why it’s special.
In the first look poster, Andrea is seen as an Anglo-Indian with a scarf tied around her head.
Sharing the heartwarming story behind her look, Andrea wrote on her Instagram page: “There’s a story behind #Pisasu2 first look...On the left is a picture of my maternal grandmother, taken when she was a young girl. Her name was Heather and with her dark blonde hair & greyish blue eyes, she never looked like she belonged here.”
“When director Mysskin first narrated the story to me, I immediately drew parallels between the character & my own family lineage. I dug out these old photographs and sent them to him. He called me immediately to say that this picture was so hauntingly beautiful and he wanted to recreate it for the first look of my character in his film. And so that’s what we did,” she said.
