<p>With all the positive reviews about Kari Chirate one would expect Sharmila Mandre to be <br />extremely happy, but she is not. <br /><br />Metrolife caught up with Sharmila, who has been suffering with a bad cold.<br /><br /> “I can’t even enjoy the success of the film. I have been sick for a while now,” she says. But that is not the only reason why she is sad. <br /><br />“I was recently approached by Abhaya Simha to play the lead role opposite Mammootty in Shikari. I had to turn down the offer because I didn’t have dates,” she explains. <br /><br />Apparently, Sharmila had already given those dates to her first Tamil film Thillumullu, to be directed by Maadesh. <br /><br />“We are going to London for shoot on September 18 and Abhay needed me for 20 days straight starting September 13. It was impossible for me to commit elsewhere. I wanted to be a part of Shikari and it would have been such a great opportunity to work opposite Mammootty,” she says and adds, “I still can’t believe I have rejected the film. <br /><br />Opportunities like this don’t come very often but I am hoping that I will get to work with Mammootty again.”<br /><br />There is also a buzz that she has been offered Rammi, an AMR Ramesh film (makers of Cyanide). <br /><br />Metrolife got in touch with Ramesh who agreed that he had offered the film to Sharmila as he feels she will fit the bill perfectly. <br /><br />“This film too will be based on a real story based in the City. I don’t want to give too many details but I know people will be interested as it is a hot topic right now,” he reveals.<br /><br />Says Sharmila, “I am very excited about the film, things are yet to be finalised. The story is great and I am looking forward to working with Ramesh. Since the film is going on floors in October, I have time to complete my Tamil film and then move on to this one.” </p>
