Actress
Ranya
Rao,
who
made
her
Tamil
debut
with
the
recently
released
Vikram
Prabhu-starrer
Wagah,
is
happy
about
making
an
entry
into
Tamil
cinema.
Despite
the
movie
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
fans
and
critics
alike,
Ranya
feels
she
has
started
off
well
in
the
industry.
A
Lot
Of
Offers
Post
Wagah,
Ranya
has
said
she's
been
getting
a
lot
of
offers.
However,
the
actress
doesn't
want
to
go
on
a
signing
spree
and
instead
wants
to
wait
for
the
perfect
role.
Before
Taking
Up
Acting
"I
was
part
of
several
plays.
My
parents
were
keen
that
I
get
a
degree
first.
I
did
take
up
an
engineering
course,
but
I
never
pursued
it.
It
was
only
then
my
parents
realized
that
my
passion
lay
in
films," she
told
the
leading
daily.
Doing
It
The
Right
Way
Before
pursuing
her
career
in
the
filed
of
cinema,
Ranya
did
a
fourth-month
course
to
get
the
nuances
of
acting
right.
"I
wanted
some
training
before
I
set
out
to
pursue
a
career
here.
So,
I
did
a
four-month
course."
Power
Of
Parents
"My
parents
were
the
ones
who
met
casting
directors
and
forwarded
my
portfolio.
Also,
I
didn't
see
me
coming
into
the
industry
as
a
struggle,
as
I
was
focussed," she
has
said.
The
Debut
Ranya
Rao,
who
hails
from
the
Chikmagalur
district
of
Karnataka,
made
her
acting
debut
with
Sudeep-starrer Maanikya,
a
Kannada
film,
that
eventually
landed
her
a
role
in
Wagah.
Upcoming
Films
The
actress
is
awaiting
the
release
of
her
Kannada
movie Pataki.
InTamil,
she
is
yet
to
sign
on
the
dotted
lines
of
a
new
project.
Stay
tuned
for
further
updates.
"I
have
been
getting
appreciation
for
my
work
and
I'm
happy
to
debuted
with
a
performance-oriented
role.
I
feel
that
the
film
has
given
me
a
good
start
for
my
career
in
Kollywood,"
she
told
Times
of
India.
The
23-year-old
went
on
to
say
that
Tamil
cinema
is
blessed
with
the
best
of
technicians
and
directors
and
hence
it
has
been
fabricating
the
best
of
movies.
"I
live
in
Mumbai
and
ever
since
I
told
them
I
was
doing
a
Tamil
film,
my
friends
there
were
excited.
The
best
of
films,
technicians
and
directors
come
from
Kollywood,"
she
has
said
and
added
that
Mani
Ratnam
is
her
favourite
film-maker.
"I
have
watched
a
couple
of
Tamil
films
and
Mani
Ratnam
is
my
favourite
director.
I
like
the
way
he
portrays
romance
on
screen.
I
have
a
soft
corner
for
romantic
films."
