I have been offered films as well, but it's better to do good television shows rather than a small role in a film.
In Bollywood, you have to do one film at a time, and there are no mixed schedules. And doing four films at a time is out of the question. Telugu film industry works very differently. But the kind of films I'm getting here are better than what I've been offered in Bollywood.
As a black actress, all I was offered in British film was the best friend role, whereas in television, I was offered a whole spectrum of parts.
We were on the island of Hawaii. I think I was there three months. It was fantastic. It is not much different than films. It depends on the television show but much of television today is as good or better than most films.
I hadn't been there [Comic-Con] before. It's pretty eye-opening, when you haven't been there, just with the sheer amount of fans that are there for different shows and films. It's like a big fan symposium, in a way, as well a way for film studios and television studios to really promote their product to their loyal audience base. It was an experience.
I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.
Once the shooting for a film starts, you have to go abroad for it but your family is here. The constant shuttling takes a toll on you, and so I won't pursue roles in English films but yes, if I am offered a good role I may consider it.
I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small.
'Thrones' would be the perfect platform to send a progressive message because right now, our politicians aren't telling us any truths. It's hard to find a good, meaningful message, so I think it's up to storytellers, television shows, and films to have an impact on the world conversation. Is that not what film and television is for?
The fact is that television, even before the movies, offered the chance to control our work and to get to do it again when we did something right. So television has always been better to writers than any other medium for a long time.
I'd rather have a small part in a big film or good story than do a solo film just for the sake of it.
I was never serious about Bollywood films, but when I was offered a film like 'Shanghai,' I took it because it is a good film.
I have never been bothered by the length of my role in a film as I want to be associated with good films.
I guess people feel that if you're working with good directors and are known in the Hindi film industry, then you won't work in South films. However, I believe that films have no boundaries of language, religion, or cast. If it's a good script and a good director, I can do a film in Spanish as well.
I was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in 'Well Done Abba.' I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don't ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal's film. It is the chance of a lifetime.
I'd love to have written a film and it to be regarded as good. I'd just like to be doing things that are good, really. I think that's all you can aim for. I find it odd when actors say they just want to do films or plays or television. A lot of films aren't very good; a lot of television isn't very good; a lot of plays aren't very good.
I think, if I hadn't grown as an actor, I wouldn't have been offered television, let alone films.
