For some reason, I shied away from watching Telugu films but now I am hooked to them.
As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
I can never take a break from Telugu films, because they have given me a lot of recognition. No matter how busy I am or the number of films that I do elsewhere, I always keep my schedule free for at least two to three films in Telugu.
I have been watching all kind of films and I am a bit familiar with Kannada, Telugu and Tamil.
I've always shied away from 'Where are they now?' shows, because I've been lucky enough to keep working, and people know where I am.
Since my childhood, I have been watching Telugu films. It was always my dream to make it big here.
I have worked in Telugu films. I found Bengali easier and sweeter than Telugu.
I've been hooked on films ever since I can remember renting VHS tapes. But who got me hooked? I think life did. There wasn't a person or a mentor that got me hooked. I think it was the films themselves that influenced me. A specific memory that comes to mind is watching 'Goodfellas' when I was 12 and thought Robert De Niro looked so cool sitting at the bar smoking a cigarette and contemplating his next "move". I actually would copy his faces gestures and try and get into his mind frame. I would borrow mad dad's clothes and pretend I was a Mobster. So I guess I have to thank Robert DeNiro.
My family loves watching dubbed Telugu films and they are huge fans of Mahesh Babu, Prabhas and Vijay Deverakonda.
In Tamil and Telugu films, I am not called for stylish roles and often play rustic or unglamorous roles in them.
I have grown up watching Bollywood films, watching Shah Rukh Khan's films. I am happy that I worked with him.
Wanted' and 'Rowdy Rathore', which I directed in Hindi, were remakes of Telugu hits. Telugu films have contributed to my growth in a big way.
If I am destined to do more Telugu films, I will.
Some of my scripts need the larger catchment area of Bollywood. But some suit Telugu films.
Actually, I can't stand watching violent scenes in films; I avoid watching horror films. I don't tend to watch action films mainly because I find them boring, but I watch the films of David Cronenberg and Martin Scorsese, usually in a state close to having a heart attack. I'm a complete coward. I make violent films as a result of my sensitivity to violence - in other words, my fear of violence.
Although I am a Telugu girl, I never felt that my debut in Telugu was delayed. I always wanted to be part of a good script, and I am pleased that 'Goodachari' hit the right notes.
Well, we're a Hindi speaking Marwari family, but everybody in my family understands Telugu and talk Telugu films all the time.
