How is it like working in South Indian films?
After ‘Hai’ film, I worked in Fazil’s film in Malayalam. Malayalam is the most tongue-twisting language among South Indian languages. I learnt my lines during the shooting of Malayalam film. After learning Malayalam, I did not find it difficult to learn Telugu language. I also did a film in Tamil. Now I am back in Telugu with Sambaram. Now I can speak minimum courtesy sentences in Telugu fluently like ‘Ela vunnavu?’, ‘bagunnara?’, ’emi chestunnavu?’, ‘bhojanam chesaava’ etc. How do you act? Acting is nothing but believing that it is really happening. I try to imagine that whatever I am supposed to act is really happening and try to react in that way with the help of director’s instructions. If my character in Hai has modern shades, the character in Sambaram is more of a traditional one. It’s a village belle character who comes to city to do graduation. I have to be subtle and soft-spoken in this character. What did you learn after working for ‘hai’? I have not watched ‘Hai’ film till D
