I know that it has been a long time since 'Punda,' my first Kannada film, released, but I was determined to wait for a good subject for my next film in Kannada.

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.

'Buguri' is a romantic film, and I play Ganesh's love interest. Initially, I had just hoped to do one Kannada film since I'm a Kannadiga. Now, I'm even learning to converse in Kannada.

My first film was a Malayalam film where I played a small character and then my big debut happened in Kannada, which is also my mother tongue, in 2016, 'U-Turn' and since then my life has taken a different turn altogether.

I remember wearing a mix of orange and yellow color salwar kameez for my first Kannada film, Maharaja.' It looked absolutely hideous and it was very embarrassing for me to sport that outfit.

My novels are always in Kannada because I express myself better in Kannada.

I had been getting several Kannada film offers ever since 'Premam.' While a few of them did excited me as the roles I was offered were interesting, I couldn't be a part of them due to my previous and ongoing commitments.

I always wanted to act in a Kannada film.

I did my first film Junglee and it became a hit. That film was the first one to bring the real colour on the big screen, which was Eastmancolor.

I have plenty of memories from my stint in the Kannada film industry.

Ashish Vidyarthi

To what extent a film works is beyond me. My first film 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' did wonders at the box office. Then 'Chocolate' was also quite popular, but it didn't have the same effect as the first one.
