I would like to make a film in the four South Indian languages.
I am comfortable with all four South Indian languages.
I have acted in all four film industries in the South. I speak all four languages because of my upbringing in various cities.
I am a rebellious North Indian girl and I was not sure if I would have said yes to a film like 'Rajma Chawal' if it would not be from South as it allows me to challenge myself.
'Newton' is a very Indian film. I think, after a long time, people will see an Indian film in its true form. As in the story, the character, it is set in the heartland of India, but it's purely like how there was a time when Hrishikesh Mukherjee used to make sweet Indian films.
I did the Kannada film when just out of school. I didn't know anything about the South Indian film industry at that time, and I did the film to earn some pocket money. I realised then I like acting.
Being a South Indian, I think it was easier for me to pick up the languages on the go.
My native place is Belgaum and I understand Kannada and have a flavor for acting in South Indian languages.
Whether the film is a Hindi film or in a South Indian language, I don't think it matters.
I decided to remake 'Sairat' and contacted Nitin Keni of Zee Studios with a plan to remake the movie in all south Indian languages.
Language is not a barrier, specially Hindi. It is the only language I read, write and speak in and so it is far easier than South Indian languages.
I liked the original 'Dabangg.' I've always felt 'Dabangg' was like a South Indian film.
There are quality films being made in all languages, whether in Hindi cinema, Bengali or the south. Bollywood doesn't represent Indian cinema, per say.
If you ask a filmmaker to analyse his own film, it would take three or four years to do that, honestly. Because when you make a film, you have to be convinced about it. You are married to that film for a year.
I didn't even tell any of my girlfriends that I was doing a film with Prithviraj because they would have wanted to come and see him... Imagine a bunch of Punjabi girls with an unsuspecting South Indian boy.
I like to travel, and I would love to be fluent in at least four languages.
Chennai seems to be the base for the South Indian film industry in general.
