Lorry Girl

Lorry Girl tells the story of a prostitute Lakshmi, who sells her body to lorry drivers, out of helplessness rather than choice. She is a compassionate woman, and she is in love with Kannan, a lorry driver.[6] She is very protective of her only daughter Kani. The plot revolves around the relations of Kannan-lakshmi-kani.[7]

Lorry Girl was created specifically to instill awareness of the need to eradicate AIDS and stresses the need of using condoms.[8][9]

The leading characters of Lorry Girl are Lachu (Lakshmi), Kannan and Kani.[10] The main character Lakshmi is played by Rani Sharan,[11][12] a journalist and the wife of actor Sharan and daughter of late veteran famous actor Manjery Chandran.

Kannan is portrayed as a negative character throughout the story. Yet, through him, we get glimpses of a lady’s affection towards her daughter. This role is done by Sharan, a well experienced actor from 1990, who has already won several awards for his performances.

Kani is the innocent daughter of Lachu. Selvam loves her and she opens her mind only to him.
