Kannada actress
Ragini Dwivedi is hopeful about making her Tollywood debut later this year. The actress, who has been awaiting the release of Nani-Amala Paul starrer Janda Pai Kapiraju, has just signed another horror-thriller to be directed by Raj. ���I was completely bowled over when I heard the story. Moreover, it���s a female-centric film, so it���s a great opportunity for me to deliver my best.
The film is a bilingual made in Telugu and Kannada,��� beams Ragini, who is paired opposite two other newcomers. ���The entire film will be shot in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi in Malaysia,��� says Ragini, who will start shooting soon.
Meanwhile, she���s busy wrapping up her ongoing multi-lingual film Amma, which is being directed by Faisal Saif. ���To be honest, I���m really happy with the roles that I���m offered both in Telugu and Kannada these days. It���s very difficult to pull off a female-centric film and I���m glad that filmmakers have faith in me. Despite the fact that my debut movie in Telugu hasn���t released yet, I���ve been getting some very good offers for big commercial films. And it shows that Telugu filmmakers have accepted me based on my work in my previous movies. Currently, I���m in talks for three other films in Telugu and hopefully, I���ll sign something soon,��� Ragini reveals.
Ask her about the experience of working with
Nani and Samuthirakani, the actress says, ���Working with Nani and Samuthirakani was a fabulous experience. It was the first time I was acting in a Telugu film and both of them went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable on the sets. I cherish the memory of a movie outing in a local theater,��� Ragini recalls. We wonder why she didn���t take up any Telugu films earlier. ���I did get a few offers. However, since it���s a different language, I was particular about what role I���m going to play and make sure that it was worth the effort. I just want people to realise that I���m here to stay,��� she says laughing.
