Pandigai has given me confidence to produce more films: Vijayalakshmi

Chennai June 30 (IANS) Actress Vijayalakshmi who has donned the producer s hat with upcoming Tamil action thriller Pandigai says the experience of delivering a highly satisfying product has given her the confidence to produce more films.

Pandigai is directed by Vijayalakshmi s husband Feroz.

Feroz was originally supposed to make the film for another producer. For various reasons the project never took off and we were wasting time. This is when I decided to step in and own the project. Even though it was a shaky start the final product was satisfying Vijayalakshmi told IANS.

The film has given her confidence to continue as a producer.

Initially I was under a lot of pressure. I didn t know a lot of things and each day on the sets was a challenge. There would be a new problem and before you deal with it there would be another she said.

Feroz and I fought a lot through the course of shoot on various things but the final product has given me lot of confidence. I will produce four more films or more she added.

On the experience of turning a producer Vijayalakshmi said it was a tough decision.

When I decided to become an actor everybody around me supported my decision. My family and my friends were very supportive. The same people were completely against my decision to become a producer. But I still went ahead because I had faith in my husband she said.

Slated for release on July 7 Pandigai stars Krishna Kulasekaran and Anandi.
