I think the Hindi film heroine is stereotypical. It is nice to have an opportunity to have that freedom to not to do that anymore.
In a typical Hindi film, there's the role of the hero, the heroine, and the other important character is the villain.
I'm sure I will play the typical Hindi film heroine and have my song and dance routines in future.
It would be interesting to explore an opportunity if Hindi filmmakers think I can fit into any character in a film.
'Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi' has a very nice subject which I think could be remade into a Hindi film. It was my first film in Telugu for which I got Filmfare Award for the best actress.
I would love to work on a Hindi film if I get the right opportunity.
I never stopped being a heroine. I began acting when I was four and bagged my first film as a heroine at the age of 15.
I don't think a heroine-oriented film has the capacity to pull an audience like a hero-oriented film in any film industry.
New media has made it possible for filmmakers like me to get their message out. No big Hollywood studios are needed anymore to make and release a film. More and more people are watching movies and television online than going to the movie theater because of costs. This freedom gives me the opportunity to create the film I want to be seen and heard.
Whether the film is a Hindi film or in a South Indian language, I don't think it matters.
Hindi film heroes never age but Hindi film heroines age fast.
I remember breaking the news to both my parents that I wanted to be a director, and they both looked very doubtful. They didn't know what a closet Hindi film buff I was. I used to dance to old Hindi films songs on the sly, so my decision to be a part of Hindi cinema was shocking even for my parents.
'Aiyyaa' was not the first film that I was offered in Hindi... it was the first film that I wanted to do in Hindi.
Now I know Hindi, and I can read and write Hindi, but the problem is that I can't improvise when I am acting because I think in English, so I have to translate my thinking from English to Hindi, and therefore, I speak slowly.
I don't start a film with the heroine but with the cinema subject. If there is a woman in the story, she has to be of a particular type. It's not as if I start with Madhuri Dixit and then think what kind of film.
If it's a Hindi film, it has to have a Hindi title.
Hindi films are not made for critics, it is made for worldwide Hindi film watching audience.
