She’s the girl of the moment, with Rajini Murugan ’s success catapulting her to starry heights. But, through it all, Keerthy Suresh retains her calm. “I don’t feel any pressure, but I feel more responsible about the kind of projects I must choose in future,” she says.
Daughter of actress Menaka and producer Suresh, Keerthy is familiar with tinseltown and its working. “I don’t take up too many projects at a time. I choose with care. I guess that clarity comes because my parents are from the industry,” says the actor.
