It feels good to be back in the Kannada film industry and I'm overwhelmed by the love of the people here.
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.
'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.
I think, in the South, I can do it, especially in the Kannada film industry. I am popular enough to do a woman-centric film there.
I have plenty of memories from my stint in the Kannada film industry.
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.
Yes, doing a Kannada film is like a homecoming. This industry is like family to me. I have known people here since my childhood.
I am really blessed to work with top stars of Kannada film industry.
The Kannada industry is a good place to work in and I have a huge fan following with people over there appreciating me and my films.
If you look at Indian cinema, it has always been about the 'hero.' So it is not just a characteristic of the Kannada film industry in particular. But one of the reasons to explain the 'hero-centrism' in our industry could be the fact that the audience here really enjoys the action sequences and the 'punch' dialogues.
But it feels good to love a thing and not expect anything back. It feels good to not get an argument or any pushiness or any rumors or any bullshit. It's love without strings. It's ideal.
I guess people feel that if you're working with good directors and are known in the Hindi film industry, then you won't work in South films. However, I believe that films have no boundaries of language, religion, or cast. If it's a good script and a good director, I can do a film in Spanish as well.
'Satya' was a groundbreaking film that opened people's eyes. People like Ram Gopal Varma and Shekhar Kapur introduced such films in the industry as never seen before, and it wasn't easy if you went to a producer with an arthouse film back in the '90s. They'd laugh you out of the room.
I did face the casting couch when I had gone to sign a film; but I don't want to name the person. Most people in the film industry are like that. But thankfully, the television industry has been spared of it.
But at the same time, the film industry just got torched. The risk tolerance for the types of movies we're talking about is lower, and the reason for that is that the captains of the industry were asleep at the switch when their core business was being disrupted. And they're never getting it back. In a way, it makes it all the more exciting when the good ones get through.
I didn't want to get back into the whole industry. I left overworked, overwhelmed, and not having any control over my life. I was bulimic and needed to heal.
There are few teachers from the film industry to guide newcomers. One can see a gap between the film industry and those teaching at film schools.
