You
have
been
in
films
since
2006,
tell
us
how
you
feel
when
you
look
back
at
your
career
graph?
When
I
look
back
at
my
career,
it
is
filled
with
hard
work,
luck,
lots
of
ups
and
downs.
It
was
not
easy
for
me
to
sustain
13
long
years
in
the
south
film
industry
and
that
too
without
a
film
background.
So
I
can
proudly
say
that
I
am
a
self-made
star
who
is
surviving
for
the
past
13
years,
while
balancing
ups
and
downs,
trying
to
give
good
roles,
and
being
a
part
of
good
movies.
It's
a
mixed
feeling.
I
feel
blessed
and
also
proud
at
the
same
time.
You
are
playing
the
role
of
a
vigilant
and
stylish
crime
detective
Maha
in
Nishabhdam.
Tell
us
more
about
the
traits
of
the
character?
She
is
an
officer
in
the
Seattle
Police
Department,
where
she
is
investigating
a
case.
And
whatever
u
saw
in
the
trailer,
that's
all
we
can
say
about
her
character
as
of
now.
But
I
would
definitely
say
that
she
is
bold,
gutsy
and
a
sincere
investigating
police
officer.
How
different
is
Maha
from
the
other
roles
you
have
done
previously?
Definitely,
it
is
very
different
from
the
other
roles
that
I
have
played
in
my
career.
It's
the
role
of
a
cop
with
a
modern
personality.
I
have
never
played
such
a
role
in
my
career.
I
really
wanted
to
take
up
the
role
when
I
was
narrated
about
Maha
because
this
was
something
I
always
wanted
to
try,
something
different
from
the
typical
ones.
There
comes
a
situation
in
life
where
you
get
a
different
role
and
you
have
to
grab
it.
This
one
was
such
an
opportunity.
What
attracted
you
to
Hemanth
Madhukar's
film
Nishabdham
My
role,
because
as
I
said
I
never
did
a
role
like
Maha
in
my
film
career.
And
Nishabhdam's
storyline
is
something
that
I
loved.
I
personally
love
to
watch
thrillers
and
this
is
a
pure
thriller
movie
that
I
am
doing
for
the
first
time
in
my
career.
The
way
he
(Hemanth
Madhukar)
has
written
the
characters
and
the
screenplay,
I
think
one
will
never
want
to
say
no
to
the
movie.
In
the
trailer
released
recently,
we
couldn't
see
combination
scenes
of
yours
with
R
Madhavan.
Does
the
omission
has
anything
to
do
with
a
big
twist
in
the
plot?
(Laughs)
I
seriously
can't
explain
that.
It
is
knotted
with
the
main
script.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
we
all
have
great
combination
scenes
with
one
another,
which
is
worth
a
watch.
How
was
it
sharing
screen
space
with
Anushka
Shetty?
I
had
a
great
time
working
with
Anushka.
She
is
really
positive
and
very
friendly.
We
have
a
lot
of
combination
scenes
in
the
film.
And
the
way
our
characters
are
described
in
the
movie,
it
is
fun
to
have
that
combination
scenes.
I
really
enjoyed
working
with
her
for
those
scenes
and
I
was
looking
forward
to
its
filming.
I
used
to
occasionally
ask
the
director
that
when
are
we
going
to
shoot
those
scenes.
I
really
loved
doing
the
movie
especially
because
of
those
combinations.
We
saw
combination
scenes
of
yours
with
Michael
Madsen.
How
was
it
working
with
a
popular
Hollywood
star?
I
have
major
combination
scenes
with
Michael
Madsen.
He
is
an
extremely
talented
actor,
I
do
not
have
to
reiterate
that.
But
working
with
him
was
a
learning
experience
for
me.
The
way
he
acts,
the
way
he
speaks
in
the
scenes,
and
the
way
he
delivers
it
is
entirely
different
and
I
have
never
seen
that
style
of
working.
It
was
new
for
me
and
I
admired
his
way
of
work.
It
was
a
privilege
for
me
to
witness
that
and
share
screen
space
with
such
an
actor.
Were
you
nervous
working
with
him?
I
was
nervous
in
the
beginning
because
I
was
not
sure
what
kind
of
person
he
is.
Generally,
I
need
to
have
a
comfort
level
while
working
together
as
it
is
not
just
one
or
day
you
are
shooting
for
the
film.
I
had
many
scenes
with
him
and
I
really
need
that
comfort
with
my
co-star
to
deliver
my
best
and
luckily
I
got
that
from
Michel
Madsen.
He
treated
me
like
a
kid
and
would
call
me
‘where
is
that
little
girl'
(laughs).
I
really
had
fun
working
with
him.
Earlier,
Nishabdham
was
scheduled
for
a
theatrical
release.
Even
when
the
trailer
was
released,
many
opined
that
it
should
have
gone
for
a
release
at
the
theatres.
What's
your
opinion
about
it?
Ultimately,
we
have
made
this
film
for
the
audience
to
come
to
theatres
and
watch
it
and
if
that's
not
possible,
we
can
surely
go
to
their
homes
and
can
make
them
watch
the
movie
(laughs).
Well,
if
you
are
keeping
a
thriller
away
from
the
audience
for
a
year,
it
will
only
stale.
So
I
think
it
was
a
wise
decision
for
us
to
opt
for
the
OTT
release.
We
really
can't
wait
for
the
audience
to
watch
Nishabdham.
