True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.
Telugu is a lot like Kannada, so I don't have a problem with Telugu. But Tamil is very difficult to learn, man.
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 was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.
My mother tongue is Telugu. I was born and brought up in Tamil Nadu.
I still can't believe that I was accepted by Telugu audiences because I don't know Telugu. Without knowing me, the Telugu people gave me their unconditional love.
I'm half Telugu. My mom is Telugu and dad, a Maharashtrian. I was brought up in Gwalior. I was exposed to English, Hindi, and Marathi. I heard my mom speak to her family in Telugu, so I got the hang of it.
I have done Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi movies, and each actor that I've worked with is different from the other.
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.
I am delighted to have won a place in both Tamil and Telugu film industry.
I am open to working in all southern language - Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
I am very happy that all my films are getting positive reports in both Telugu and Tamil.
I am not familiar with Telugu, Tamil or Malayalam and tend to feel they are foreign languages to me.
I have been watching all kind of films and I am a bit familiar with Kannada, Telugu and Tamil.
I wanted to greet people in Telugu, so I asked someone how to say 'How are you' in Telugu. In fact, I instructed my entire staff to speak to me only in Telugu. So, there were times when I would ask them to translate certain words for me in Hindi, but the effort paid off.
Telugu-Tamil producer Thyagarajan has bought the South Indian language rights for two Hindi hit films, Vikas Behl's 'Queen' and Neeraj Pandey's 'Special 26.' He wants me to play Akshay Kumar's role in the Telugu version of 'Special 26.' Akshay and I even look similar, physique-wise.
