Malayalam films just fell into my lap.
I respect Malayalam films the same way I respect Bengali films. I think Malayalam films have not compromised on the essence and have kept their own statement and are coming up with very good themes.
My place is cemented in Malayalam films. Malayalam is not my language and it felt alien to me. But for them, I am someone from Karnataka who could deliver.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
Writing and directing just sort of fell into my lap.
This directing thing just sort of fell my way and landed in my lap.
Gashed with honourable scars,Low in Glory's lap they lie;Though they fell, they fell like stars,Streaming splendour through the sky.
I watch a lot of Malayalam films and admire them greatly. The films have such wonderful content.
I have done about 25 films in Malayalam and won awards for my performances in films like 'Nandanam' and 'Saira.'
My thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.
In Tamil or Malayalam, there was a time when light films ruled. Then, a spate of drama or women-oriented stunt films followed.
'Sparkle' fell into my lap. I had heard a little bit about it, that it was being redone in early 2011. I was just kind of like, 'Oh, that would be really cool,' and not really thinking too much about it, and then it came through my agency. I read it, I fell in love with the script and I went in to audition.
Culturally, I remember listening to Salil Chowdhury's music for Malayalam films. Many Bengali actors have worked in our films, too.
I am somebody who is very lucky. 'Kaanta Laga' just fell into my lap and even 'Baby Come Naa.'
I never went to sleep thinking and dreaming that I wanted to be an actor. It just kind of fell on my lap and I said, "Okay, maybe I can do this? Lets see.".
I grew up performing and singing. And acting, the idea of it just sort of fell into my lap. And I was a little hesitant at first, but I was like, 'Okay, I'll try it.'
