Revathi Pillai says she wants to explore beyond  student typecast

Despite being only 20 years old, Revathi Pillai already has a substantial filmography. The actor has appeared in programmes like Yeh Meri Family, Special Ops 1.5, and Kota Factory, which included her breakout performance. The one thing they all have in common is that she has defined her role most of the time as a student. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the performer discusses typecasting as well as her new short film Capital A, little a, which recently made

Revathi is paired with Darsheel Safary in the capital A, small a.

The two portray a couple who are teased for having different heights and how they deal with it. "The script did it. Because of its simplicity and sweetness, the moment I heard it, I fell in love. Regarding the movie, she says, "It's a really simple, elementary school romance that everyone has experienced.

Her character is shown in the movie as being noticeably taller than Darsheel, which isn't true in reality. Darsheel is shorter than me, but we did a lot of mehnat, says Revathi when asked how they created the effect for the camera. My shoes now have four-inch soles. For me to walk on, we constructed an entire brick path, which helps the height difference look less odd on television.

Similar to Kota Factory, Revathi again portrays a student in this movie.

Ahsaas Channa, a friend and former co-star, recently expressed the desire to leave her "comfort zone," and Revathi concurs. She continues, "I don't think it's just me or Ahsaas," and she explains that after playing characters or roles that are the same age and type for a while, you will start to wonder when you may move on to the next age group. You can sometimes get type cast. However, you also enjoy doing it. There is nothing better than playing a student, thus I will always like doing that. On the other hand, I think it would be really interesting to play a psycho killer.
