WHAT HAS YOUR FILM JOURNEY BEEN LIKE SO FAR?
My journey so far has been enlightening way. It’s changed me so much as a person, and it’s made me come closer to my craft in terms of understanding the dos and don’ts. It’s more like an experience, or an experiment—trial and error, if you will. It’s like you don’t know when something will go wrong, or when something will work.
HAS THERE BEEN A STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORKING IN TOLLYWOOD AND WORKING IN BOLLYWOOD? WHAT’S THE TRANSITION BEEN LIKE?
Honestly, apart from the language, there’s really no difference at all. You only meet good and bad people; there are no good and bad industries. You work with different kinds of people with different styles. I think, for me, the experience has been good overall, and that’s all that matters.
IF YOU WERE TO STAR IN ONE CLASSIC FILM REMAKE, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE? WHICH CHARACTER WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY?
When I think of a classic or period Devdas. I have always wanted to portray Chandramukhi. For me, it’s a very beautiful character— there’s so much complexity, so many layers to it. I just have this instinct that there is more, rather, something different to bring to the character. Chandramukhi is but challenging role to play.
