I was 19 or 20 when I was confused whether to take up films as a career. At that juncture, I enrolled in an acting workshop and then eventually realised I was destined to be in films.
The Tamil industry has a huge market and already has many talented actors. So, making a mark in Kollywood is not easy. I will have to choose the right script and do it the right way.
After I met Ajay Bhuyan, we thought of making the English TV show 'Prison Break' as a Telugu film. Ajay put it all down, but somehow, we felt it would not work. Then 'Dhada' emerged.
I am happy that two newcomers are being introduced with 'Vaisakham.' New talent bode well for the industry, as they bring refreshing content.
Dad has been my guiding force. Whenever I am confused about choosing a script, I discuss it with him. However, I have said 'no' to scripts he agreed to, while he has said 'yes,' too, for scripts I have turned down. We have this mutual understanding that works between us.
No matter what kind of film audiences pay money to watch, they definitely expect to be entertained. They want to forget the outside world and have a good laugh while watching a movie.
