As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
I can never take a break from Telugu films, because they have given me a lot of recognition. No matter how busy I am or the number of films that I do elsewhere, I always keep my schedule free for at least two to three films in Telugu.
I am not in a hurry to do Hindi films. If it is destined, when it has to happen, it will.
I have worked in Telugu films. I found Bengali easier and sweeter than Telugu.
Wanted' and 'Rowdy Rathore', which I directed in Hindi, were remakes of Telugu hits. Telugu films have contributed to my growth in a big way.
Although I am a Telugu girl, I never felt that my debut in Telugu was delayed. I always wanted to be part of a good script, and I am pleased that 'Goodachari' hit the right notes.
Well, we're a Hindi speaking Marwari family, but everybody in my family understands Telugu and talk Telugu films all the time.
I want to do more Telugu films.
I just can't stop doing Telugu films just when I have started speaking a little better Telugu.
Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
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 have been watching all kind of films and I am a bit familiar with Kannada, Telugu and Tamil.
I am very happy that all my films are getting positive reports in both Telugu and Tamil.
For some reason, I shied away from watching Telugu films but now I am hooked to them.
True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.
After 20 years and 250 mainstream films, I thought I should have in my library at least 50 films, films that will be talked about when I am no more.
