Mithila as the simple, fun-loving girl in this rom-com film fits the bill perfectly, and says the kind of role is her comfort zone. The film's success and the firsthands the experience of the south audience's love for cinema is memorable, she shares in this exclusive interview.

When you are cast in breezy romcom kind of roles, do you feel you are being offered the same kind of roles? Are you okay with it?

I do get put in a category. But I do auditions and consciously try to do different things. This year you will see me doing different roles. That said I am not complaining as that is my comfort zone. For example, when I was doing the Telugu film 'Ori Devuda', there was the language I had to work on. So, it was easier that the film is in a genre that I am comfortable with.

You are said to have a way with languages. How did you work around Telugu?
