Actor Teju Ashwini, who made her debut with Enna Solla Pogirai, will next be seen in Moondram Kan, which is gearing up for release. In a recent interview for the film, the actor was asked about films she missed taking up due to various reasons, to which she revealed that she was offered Sri Gouri Priya's role in Lover.

Moondram Kan, helmed by Sago Ganesan, also stars Vidharth, Kalaiyarasan, Santhosh Prathap and Thrigun in lead roles. Announced 3 years ago, the film is finally set to hit theatres on June 12.

Speaking to Galatta Pink, Teju said, "I was offered Priya Bhavani Shankar's role in Demonte Colony 2, but I couldn't take it up. Similarly, the heroine character in Lover also came to me, but I couldn't do it. These two were the biggest misses in my career, which I regret not being able to take up."

Having made her debut alongside Ashwin Kumar in Enna Solla Pogirai, Teju recently shared the screen with GV Prakash in Mu Maaran's Blackmail. She also starred in Nawab Cafe with Shiva Kandukuri and Rajeev Kanakala. Some of her other performances as a supporting character include Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal and Paris Jeyaraj.

Talking about the plot of Teju Ashwini's upcoming film, Moondram Kan, director Sago Ganesan said in an earlier conversation with CE, "The general manager of a factory is murdered, and four workers, namely, a mechanic, the assistant manager, the owner and a new recruit, are the primary suspects. One of them is the actual murderer." As per the director, Vidharth, Trigun, Kalaiyarasan and Teju Ashwini essay the roles of the factory workers.
