I had a smooth take-off in Malayalam, I would like to explore more and take up films that are different in Tamil.
My thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.
Apart from English, I speak my mother tongue Malayalam, as well as Tamil, Telugu, and a bit of Kannada and French.
If you're talking about industry, I've never restricted myself to Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, or Kannada. Whichever the language is, from Swahili to Marathi or Bhojpuri to Bengali, I would be happy to do it.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
But I've always admired Tamil and Malayalam films, and language isn't a barrier for me.
I struggled a bit with Malayalam, but it was easier speaking Tamil; it is closer to Telugu.
I am open to working in all southern language - Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

Be it in Malayalam or Tamil, I got to play characters who had plenty to do in the storyline and not just be a prop.
I am not familiar with Telugu, Tamil or Malayalam and tend to feel they are foreign languages to me.
Since I grew up in Palakkad, I am comfortable speaking both Tamil and Malayalam.
I got a lot of exposure because of 'Eega,' as the film was released in Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam.
I have acted in Tamil and Telugu, languages that were alien to me. It was then that I got the call to Malayalam.
