I have an impeccable memory, and I can learn dialogues in any language in 20 minutes, including Telugu and Malayalam.
Coming from the Malayalam sets, when I went to Telugu, people told me that I wasn't acting and that it felt dead. It was very subtle in Malayalam, while it is slightly dramatic in Telugu. It is quite fascinating to understand what each industry expects of you and work according to that.
I am open to working in all southern language - Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
I am attempting to understand Telugu and then give my dialogues. But language is not a barrier for me.
Telugu and Tamil industries keenly watch Malayalam movies and are appreciative of the content, be it 'Ustad Hotel,' 'Premam' or 'Bangalore Days.' They've also been listening to our music. That's how I was approached for Telugu films.
I was really looking forward to the release of 'Villain.' I put in a lot of hard work, and I am glad people are noticing basic things - like how I synced perfectly with the Malayalam dialogues or that I came across as a Malayalam girl - makes me feel wonderful.
My place is cemented in Malayalam films. Malayalam is not my language and it felt alien to me. But for them, I am someone from Karnataka who could deliver.
The Malayalam connection has always been there and finally I am trying to learn the language to be active here as well.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
I could easily master Telugu, but picking up Malayalam was challenging.
I struggled a bit with Malayalam, but it was easier speaking Tamil; it is closer to Telugu.
Obviously no language is innate. Take any kid from any race, bring them up in any culture and they will learn the language equally quickly. So no particular language is in the genes. But what might be in the genes is the ability to acquire language.
I have sung some songs in Telugu and Malayalam. And I want to sing in Tamil, too.
Our idea to remake the Malayalam 'Premam' was not to make a better film than the original film or correct the mistakes they made or perform better than that hero. The soul of the Malayalam movie was taken and changed a bit to match with the Telugu sensibilities so that our audience can enjoy the movie.
I usually mug up my Telugu dialogues much before going to the sets every day.
I am not familiar with Telugu, Tamil or Malayalam and tend to feel they are foreign languages to me.
Telugu is a lot like Kannada, so I don't have a problem with Telugu. But Tamil is very difficult to learn, man.
