Chennai, Dec 17 (AHN) Stating that she did not simply "want to come on screen, dance, romance and vanish", actress Siddhi Idnani, who plays the lead along with actor Arun Vijay in director Krish Thirukumaran's eagerly awaited action entertainer, 'Retta Thala', has made it clear that she wants to show that even women characters have a driving force and bring value to films.

Participating in the trailer launch event organised by the makers of 'Retta Thala', recently, actress Siddhi Idnani disclosed that she played a very strong character called Andre in the film.

"Andre is a strong character. She has a purpose and is in a way the driving force of the film. And it is an honor and a pleasure to play such important characters because, as an actress, I do not want to simply come on screen, dance, romance and vanish. That's not what I want. I want to be in cinema, and I want to show that even women characters have a driving force and bring value to the films," she said and thanked the director Krish Thirukumaran for giving her such a strong character.

The actress further went on to say, "She is a strong-minded woman who stands her ground come what may and that's the learning point that I have learned from this film."
