Whoever is scribbling the script of Reema’s professional life seems to be in a tearing hurry.
Acts and scenes are flipping by at such a fast n’ furious pace, it is enough to make one dizzy.
While others young actresses are inching along at a snail’s pace, Reema seems to be dashing up the stairs to fame, three steps at a time.
At the 2008 Miss Kerala Beauty pageant, her singular but unorthodox looks - with those generous lips, bold eyes and electrocuted locks - that made her conspicuous in the crowd of conventional beauties, brought her within winning distance of the crown; she was the first runner up in the contest.
Shortly afterwards she was handpicked by none other than Shyamaprasad to star as the heroine of his critically acclaimed ‘Ritu’ as a chic IT professional, which she essayed with a sensitiveness surprising in a debutante .
For her next film, M.T’s classic ‘Neelathamara’, she became a simple village girl clad in the traditional mundu & neriyathu, as though she had been a rustic beauty all her life.
Reema’s ‘Happy Husbands’ which boasts of a triple hero cast is running to packed houses; her next venture ‘Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram’, a Shaji Kailas blockbuster is being canned, and she will be launched in Tamil by Lal Jose in ‘Mazhai var pokkuthu’.
All these transpired in less than 2 years - evidence enough that that her script writer has stepped on the gas and kept his foot there.
But if the tempo of ascendancy would have made fainter hearts flutter, Reema’s head was fixed too firmly on her well-molded shoulder for such frivolities.
Reema is an accomplished danseuse gifted with extraordinary flexibility that was on display during her performance at the recently concluded MAFA 2010.
Her self assurance backed by her dancing experience gave her judgments an edge of credibility that went down well with the contestants.
