Ranarangam Movie Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan Interview Pics.

Kalyani Priyadarshan may be 3 movies old in Telugu film industry, but when she got an opportunity to address the audience at the pre-release event of Ranarangam, she spoke confidently in Telugu. She said “A year back, I was not even exposed to Telugu cinema or language, but considering where I am now, I guess I made some good progress. Most of the female leads from different parts of the country come here and learn the language. One day I shoot for a Malayalam film and then another day in Tamil, then two days later I am in Hyderabad attempting to converse in Telugu. Once you get used to it you will be fine.”

“When I came in I noticed a couple of good projects happening here, but someone told me that it wasn’t the case a few years back. For some reason, I shied away from watching Telugu films but now I am hooked to them.” She adds, “I’ve always loved telling stories. And when I hear a good story, I’m confident to bring it to life. Most of the films I was exposed to were Malayalam and Tamil. Telugu films were different in content and making. I was exposed to it suddenly.”

“I got a degree in architecture for the educational experience but in terms of career, everything is cinema. If I were actually working behind the camera I would have been confident. As a child I was on the sets all the time, even during vacation. Had I known I would be an actor, I’d have groomed and trained myself better. Dad helped me believe in myself and boosted my confidence. Despite the initial trepidation, I think I am growing with each film and I finished three films already. I might be a director in the future but as of now I think this is my calling and I am living it, enjoying every bit.”
