Actress Reveals Actors Use Numbers for Dialogue
22 Jan
Summary
- Some actresses don't learn lines, opting for numbers or letters.
- This practice is common in Tamil and Telugu film industries.
- Actors believe dialogue can be fixed during post-production dubbing.

Malavika Mohanan, an actress with a diverse filmography, has shed light on a recurring issue within the Tamil and Telugu film industries. She shared that certain female actors do not bother to memorize their dialogue lines, resorting to speaking numbers or letters during shoots. Mohanan explained that these actors rely on the dubbing process to correct lip movements later.
This practice, according to Mohanan, is not a rare occurrence but rather a long-standing trend. She indicated that some actors have built entire careers using this approach. Mohanan herself has appeared in notable films such as Prabhas' 'The Raja Saab' and 'Thangalaan' with Vikram. She is also slated to appear in 'Sardar 2' alongside Karthi.
