Ajit recalled they were shooting for costume swashbuckler “Dharti” (1970) – a remake of Tamil film “Sivandha Mann” with Rajendra Kumar stepping into the shoes of Sivaji Ganesan, and a scene had him, as the evil Diwan, coming down on a lift with a tiger on a leash to where Sahni was waiting.

But the actor rues that despite the success she had tasted, she has not been able to get good offers in Malayalam. In an interview that has been published in Mathrubhumi.com, the actor has been quoted as saying, “The 2015 movie ‘Saigal Padukayanu’ was the last Malayalam film I acted in. I don’t blame anyone. But I did not get any good offers from Malayalam industry after that. Tamil movie field is different. They never keep away the actors who once proved successful in the industry. As I was active in Tamil cinema, I didn’t have to stay away from the field. Many actresses are keeping out of the industry because they don’t get any opportunities. We get chances in Tamil and Telugu but not in Malayalam. I don’t understand its reason.” Remya currently has the Tamil film Natpuna Ennanu Theriyuma in her kitty and the Kannada magnum opus Kurukshetra gearing up for release.
