Though Mammootty and Prachi Tehlan starrer Maamaankam has been creating the buzz since last few months, no internal information about the characters was revealed. But finally, Tehlan – who is playing the lead opposite the Malayalam megastar – stepped forward to give a sneak peek of her character and the challenges she faced while portraying it.

"I was doing Ikyawann when I bagged the role of Unnimaya...Well, that's the name of my character in the movie," she revealed adding, "At that point in time, I had to shoot 12 hours for the show. Despite an already hectic schedule, I was supposed to take out an hour time to work on dialect as well as learn new forms of classical dances for Maamaankam. I could hardly find time for myself in that span".
