One of the toughest things that actors are required to deal with is to stay in shape and look good even as they stick to demanding shoot schedules. Actress Shweta Menon, who has been shooting back-to-back for a while now, tells us she really needs a break — primarily to get back into shape.The actress has three films on hand — K Gopinath’s Ithra Mathram,
Madhupal’s Ozhimuri, and Houseful; and has decided not to sign up for any more for a while.
“Before I sign up for anything new, I want to get back to shape. I want to be that sexy me once again,” she says. The suave actress is planning a six-month vacation, away from shooting schedules, as soon as she completes her current projects. “I just want to lose weight and get back to being my usual self. There’s too much flesh,” she says.
The change in her look over the years, Shwetha observes, has been attracting different kinds of roles too. “I notice that almost all the characters that I have played, since two years now, are those strong, woman-oriented ones. I think it is a typecast. I believe it is my physical appearance that is attracting these kinds of roles. However, it has only made me greedy for more excellent scripts,” she says. The actress also hints at a possible action-oriented film that she will be a part of soon. “Once I am done with the break, people will see me in a new avatar. I want to do a good, high-tech-commercial-action film. Something along the lines of Bollywood’s Dhoom. So after a quick vacation in Europe, it’s all about exercising till I get back,” she says.
