Chennai, Nov 7 : Actress Regina Cassandra, who is returning to Tamil filmdom with Selvaraghavan's upcoming horror-thriller "Nenjam Marappathillai" after a brief hiatus, says the character she essays in the film is no less than her dream role.

"I was always asked what my dream role was and I always said I never really had one. However, having said that, Mariam will go down as one of the most amazing characters I have gotten to play. Thanks Selvaraghavan sir for that confidence and the mentoring. It has definitely helped," she wrote on her Instagram page.

Also starring S.J. Suryah and Nandita Swetha in the lead, the film will release on November 23.
