AFTER PLAYING SO MANY CHARACTERS ON SCREEN, WHAT MADE YOU SIGN UP FOR KARMAA CALLING?
I’ve been doing this for the past many years. I’ve been choosy with characters. A lot of actors are honestly comfortable just playing themselves on screen because it comes across the best. But I have intentionally, for a long time, been choosing characters who are not me at all. That’s what challenges me as an actor. For example, right from Shool, Daman, to Aks, to (these are a few of the films that I can name at the top of my head) and KGF 2 to Karmma Calling, These are characters that are totally different and varied, which I would have never even thought that I’d be playing one day. They’re so different from my personality. Then, getting into the skin of that one particular character that you’re trying to create, mould, and be completely someone else is a big challenge for any actor.
DID YOU WATCH THE AMERICAN SHOW REVENGE THAT KARMMA CALLING IS BASED ON?
I believe it’s essential for any adaptation to have its own unique identity. Karmma Calling is a project that brings a fresh perspective and cultural context to the storyline. Our team has worked diligently to create a version that resonates with the sensibilities of the Indian audience. I hope viewers will enjoy the distinctive elements we’ve brought to Karmma Calling.
YOU’RE PLAYING A MOTHER IN THE SHOW.
