Actress Nithya Menen, who shared screen space with Kannada superstar Sudeep in upcoming bilingual film Mudinja Ivana Pudi, says she found working with her senior counterpart to be very inspiring, so much so that she wants to write a character for him. With the project, she’s making a comeback to Kannada filmdom after a brief hiatus.

Talking to New Indian Express, she said, ““Every time I see him, I am inspired to write a character for him. I usually don’t feel this way about other actors. He motivates a person to set out on their own. I even narrated two to three short stories I had written and he encouraged me to try making a film and said he would be part of it”.

She also said she found a family friend in Sudeep. “It is always nice to know that the person who is starring opposite me is excellent, that usually turns out well,” she said. Last seen in Suriya’s 24, Nithya will next be seen in Vikram’s Iru Mugan, and she’s said to have engaged in some action in the film.
