New Delhi: Before she shot to national notoriety for her involvement in the sensational Neeraj Grover murder case, Maria Susairaj had worked in a few films in the Kannada film industry. And just as people are divided in society as to whether justice has been served, those she worked with in the Kannada film industry also have differing opinions.
Ram Gopal Varma is not the only film maker who would think of casting Maria Susairaj in a film role. A director she had worked with in the Kannada film industry before her move to Mumbai, considers it a possibility.
S Govindu, a Kannada film director, said, "She was very good when she was working with me - from the day I introduced her into cinema. It is not right for me to talk about the judgment. If the character in my story demands Maria, I will work with her. If the story demands for her then I will certainly work with her. There is no connection between art and murder. I have seen her only as an artist and even now I see her only as an artist."
Not everybody thinks she should be given a second chance. Another Kannada film director, Madan Patel, who had a conflict with Maria when she worked with him, feels she got away lightly.
He carried on to say, "She was not a very good actress but in this field, to come up, they do many things. They should be imprisoned for the same number of years as the number of pieces they have cut Grover's body in."
Maria herself has not made it clear whether she would re-enter the high-profile world of acting - a move that would probably attract as much curiosity as criticism.
