It is cool to know that my films down south are being remade in Bollywood.

My mom and I never thought that I would make my way into Bollywood. I was happy doing films down south.
I want to do Hindi films, but a proper one and a good production. I'm even open to multi-starrers because those work better in Bollywood. But it should be with only Bollywood technicians, not the South Indian team. There's no point to my going to Bollywood if I work with the same artistes and technicians.
There are quality films being made in all languages, whether in Hindi cinema, Bengali or the south. Bollywood doesn't represent Indian cinema, per say.
Several southern actors are coming to Mumbai. Likewise, many Bollywood actors are appearing down South or borrowing ideas from southern films.
The fact that I have done films down South didn't boost or hamper my chances here. In fact, I was still shooting for both my Telugu films when I met Ashu sir for 'Mohenjo Daro.' During the audition, he gave me five scenes with lengthy dialogues. Once I cleared them, he gave me a song to dance to. So, my Bollywood entry was no cakewalk.
I have no plans to quit south films and come to Bollywood.
Honestly, I was always very keen on acting in the South Indian films. I think people here have a notion that Bollywood actresses aren't keen on doing films here but let me tell you, we are.
We see so much violence in films, whether it is Bollywood or south films. People are shown blowing up each other onscreen. It's like a seed that is planted and you keep feeding it with small doses. It's cancerous and does affect society.
Modeling and my films in the South helped groom me for Bollywood and I had the confidence it required.
'3 Idiots' was remade in various languages down south, but it wasn't successful anywhere because the magic was created by Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani.
My South Indian audience matters to me a lot, so I like when they watch my Bollywood films. It feels great.
I am pleased about making a comeback in Bollywood, but then I really cannot think about leaving South Indian cinema. Whatever I am today is because of South films, and I cannot give up on that.
You know you are old when what you still think of as recent films are remade.
I started down South, that's where my heart is. But I'm open to exploring Bollywood.
Kollywood allots big budget only for commercial films. Bollywood film industry is straightforward that way. When compared to Bollywood, Kollywood is fake. They keep churning out the same films.
I've chosen films that are different compared to the conventional Bollywood films we all know and love.
