Talking about signing six films all at once, she said, “I didn’t want to let go of the opportunities because of the directors, actors and most importantly the challenges these films were offering. I was not thinking about the language. I was just working, thinking ‘Oh my god, I’m going to work with this director, getting to do such interesting characters —headline a film or play an author-backed role. So, I decided to do all of them. It was literally a boom that happened.”
The 33-year-old credits the fast pace at which films are shot in South for the actors being able to juggle multiple projects simultaneously.
