01:31So, I'm very happy that in the very first film I'm acting with Amitabh ji, and I'm quite comfortable with
01:37the language also, like, because I was basically a Sanskrit student at school.
01:42So, I can read and write Hindi very well.
01:45So, I'm very confident that I can speak Hindi too very well.
01:48And I think I'll work very hard, you know, for a lovely role, so I have to give my best.
01:59So, do you know something about the role of Amitabh ji, like Amitabh ji is playing a dual role, so
02:06I'm opposite Dengar Amitabh ji, I'm a collector in the film, so I'm an educated girl, and I can't say
02:17much about the role of the producers as well, you know, it's a very challenging role, all I can say
02:23is that, I have a lot of scope to perform.
02:25It's a strong character.
02:26It's a strong character.
02:26Very strong character, yeah.
02:29Okay.
02:32Where, what, what now, what, what next after this?

02:44I'm very optimistic, you know, like, I feel this film will definitely do well.
02:49Okay, tell us something about your goals and aspirations in life, what are your dreams?
02:55Dreams, well, always down South, like, always thought that I should become a versatile artist.
03:01I don't like to get typecasted, you know, that this girl can only do this role, you know, sort
03:06of.
03:06So, down South, I'm doing all different roles, like, in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, I'm concentrating
03:11all on versatile roles.
03:13So, I'd like to take name as a versatile artist, whether it's in Hindi or, you know.
03:17And, I'm not like, my only ambition is, Hindi, I'm not aiming for any star or anything like that.
03:23I'd like to take name as an artist.
03:26I don't want to get into this number game.
03:28I'd like to do good roles, which will get me recognition.
03:31Okay, when you're not acting, what do you do?
03:34Well, hardly I get time.
03:36So, whenever I get time, I read a lot of books.
03:40And, I listen to music.
03:42I watch TV.
03:44Okay.
03:45Ab, Bombay se, Bollywood se, kafi sare stars up, south, south mein aake, south ke production
03:50houses ke sat kaam kar rahe hain.
03:52Aur, counter wise, south ke log ab, Bombay jake kaam kar rahe hain.
03:55What do you have to say about that?
03:57See, I strongly believe that, uh, uh, uh, art is no bar, no, like, no language bar.
04:06No, wherever I go, it's only acting.
04:08You know, you know what I'm saying.
04:10So, uh, ziada felt meh, Bombay meh.
04:13But, like, only thing is, like, the language differs.
04:16The acting is the same.
04:17The lights, the camera, you know, everything is the same.
04:20So, I don't find much difference, like.
04:23I feel very comfortable anywhere, like.
04:26Because this is totally a Telugu unit.
04:28So, I don't think so whether, you know, I don't find any difference.
04:31And I've worked with the director before.
04:33I've worked with this production before, Padmalaya.
04:35So, I don't, uh, think I find much difference.

04:41Yeah.
04:42Yes.
04:43Okay.
04:44Well, uh, they've done 50 films down south.
04:46I'm very new to Hindi.
04:48So, don't expect too much from me.
04:50I'm very new.
04:51Uh, so, I think, uh, be confident.
