    The actor says, "Sometimes in your career as an actor, you have to let go of comforts of being a star. I had to do that in Madras, for which I also had to unlearn whatever I've learned so far in my career so that I could learn again." He adds, "Since we shot mostly on real locations with real people, I had to learn to mingle with them and act. They're so friendly that they would forget you're a star and at times even mouth your dialogues when you're trying hard to remember. It was a whole new experience."


    Madras was launched with a ceremony in October 2013. This would be Catherine’s first Tamil movie. Catherine Tresa is a known face in South Indian film industry. She has worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada movies earlier and now, the pretty actress is all set to enter the Kollywood industry.
