In every film, Simbu introduces new actresses. He was the one who brought Mandira Bedi and Yana Gupta to the Tamil screen. Now in ‘Kaalai,’ he introduces Suchitra. You will be able to identify this lady better when we tell you, we are referring to Radio Mirchi Suchitra. She can no more be called that since she has quit working as an RJ.

She is now working for a private TV channel and is concentrating on cinema. She is dancing for a song with Simbu in ‘Kaalai.’ She is also receiving offers to act in other films, not as a heroine, but in character roles.

How did Suchitra get the role in Simbu’s film?

“I have many friends in the film field, but Simbu is my best friend. People scared me about being friendly with him, but he is really a gem of a person.”

So, Simbu has given this opportunity to a dear friend. May he and his good heart prosper!

Its 7 AM. You don?t have any reason to wake up. But still you woke up. The concept of bed coffee is redefined as you searched where your radio is without even noticing the coffee cup. Turned it on. Its time for Hello Chennai. Here comes the sweet voice of RJ Suchitra which has all the makings of starting your day with a bang! The RJ popularly known as Suchi, know how to pep-up you with her bouncy and live wire presentment. Now that?s what I call the tone that gets you started out!

In case you are wondering what I was talking about, I was talking about Radio Mirchi, Chennai?s hottest radio station. The one that caused radio to reincarnate in the minds of Chennaites. All hells broke loose one day when the Govt. allowed private players to run FM stations a few years back. It has lead to the mushrooming of many FM stations including Radio City(Murdoch?s controversial investment),RED FM and Radio Mirchi(of the Times Group) and which in turn had more number of people turning on to their radio sets. That has given a quantum leap for radio in its Product Life Cycle (PLC) curve. That?s how it all started.

Mirchi has also the best RJ?s in town. The versatile RJ Suchitra Ramadorai, the award winning author of The Runaway Peppercorn and a talented singer is undoubtedly the best. As a regular listener of Radio Mirchi, I have become an aficionado of her voice and her jokes albeit being a non-Tamil. Humor is mixed up in all the promos. They are sometimes hilarious, sometimes outrageous and invariably, sometimes pathetic. But what is astonishing is that they made it all look like something that?s acceptable to an average and high class Tamilian alike.

After a break from Radion Mirchi for a while now Suchitra, one of the best-known voices on radio, will be hosting the Breakfast Show on Radio One from June 6, 2007. She will entertain and engage listeners on Radio One from 7 am to 11 am, Monday thru Saturday. Suchi had captured the imagination of the people of Chennai in a very short time and has sung in movies like Laysa Laysa, Kaakha Kaakha, Punnagai Poove, etc. She sang her first solo for Jay Jay, the much-hyped Reema Sen number on the crowded Vishakapatnam railway station platform! Congratulations, Suchi!
