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 have never been someone who chooses a film according to the language. Since I am comfortable with Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, the scope of the film is all that matters to me.
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.
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.
'Punda' marks my entry into Kannada and 'Krishnaleelai' will be my Tamil debut. It was a good experience shooting for both the films.
I did my first film in Kannada.
After working in Porki,' it took a long time for me to sign my second Kannada film. But, I didn't plan that break.
Not many people know that I turned down my husband's first directorial, the Kannada film 'Pallavi Anupallavi,' something he still hasn't forgiven me for.
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.
It feels good to be back in the Kannada film industry and I'm overwhelmed by the love of the people here.
My novels are always in Kannada because I express myself better in Kannada.
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 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 have plenty of memories from my stint in the Kannada film industry.
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.
