In Sabari, she will be seen in a role that she has never played before in her entire career. Her part goes through a wide range of emotions. Actor Ganesh Venkatraman will be essaying Varalaxmi Sarathkumar’s love interest. The equation between Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Mime Gopi will be an interesting one to watch.” The production team is planning on wrapping up the flick before December as they are eying to bring the drama to the theaters for Pongal.
