I am really blessed to work with top stars of Kannada film industry.
In Kannada cinema, the introduction song for the hero is normally, as we call it, a massy commercial number.
I know that it has been a long time since 'Punda,' my first Kannada film, released, but I was determined to wait for a good subject for my next film in Kannada.
When it comes to Sandalwood, I loved all the films of Rakshit Shetty and Pawan Kumar.
It's not that I haven't been giving attention to Mollywood. Nor was I consciously going for glamour roles. The fact is that I got busy in Kannada.
If you look at Indian cinema, it has always been about the 'hero.' So it is not just a characteristic of the Kannada film industry in particular. But one of the reasons to explain the 'hero-centrism' in our industry could be the fact that the audience here really enjoys the action sequences and the 'punch' dialogues.
I think, in the South, I can do it, especially in the Kannada film industry. I am popular enough to do a woman-centric film there.
In Telugu, they treat an actor or actress with great importance, and the Kannada industry is like home for me, I feel most comfortable working here.
I won't claim that I know it all, but I do know how much money is involved in making a Kannada movie. I've done my homework.
Yogaraj Bhat has many good feeling on his work. I know about it. He wants to take Kannada to world level.
