Kajal Agarwal has caused quite a stir with her glamorous act in Chandamama. Although she made her debut in Teja’s Lakshmi Kalyanam, she caught the attention of the audiences with Chandamama. She is now pretty busy in Telugu. The young actress is on cloud nine after her recent release Pourudu and Pazhani in Tamil are hits. She talks about the film, her forthcoming movies and more..
On Pourudu?
I am really happy that the film is doing well. The response has been very encouraging. The role that I played Samyukhta in the movie is very modern, educated and bubbly character, which I enjoyed doing. In my last two films, I played sober girl from rural background, here in enacting urban character was fun and very close to me. There is a little bit Kajal in Samyuktha, too.
About dance
I was also salsa dancer in the movie but I did not face any problems playing steps. I am already into - Jiving, another western classical dance form that made easier to do salsa.
On Sumanth and the team
Sumanth is nice guy. He is very professional and talented. It is my good fortune to be part of Annapoorna Studios’ production.
Kind of roles like to do..
I am too young as an actress to slot or set rules for characters. I am open-minded. On a personal choice, I would love to do roles that give me creative satisfaction.
How did your film career begin..
I am basically from Mumbai. While studying in the college, I was into theatre - performed many stage plays. Even though, I was not into modeling nor did I nurture dreams of turning actor, destiny brought me to the films. Probably this natural progress after doing stage plays.
On being a glam girl
I don’t mind doing glam roles but I’m uncomfortable wearing skimpy clothes. Being glamorous is different from looking vulgar. I know my limitations and will never wear any dress that I feel uncomfortable in.
Language problems
For an actress, language is not a barrier. I am learning Telugu right now. Can understand but yet to perfect it.
Favourite actors
Aamir Khan in Bollywood. I love Chiranjeevi and Mahesh Babu in Telugu. Sridevi is my all time favorite. She is the best. And also admire Sushmita Sen.
Current projects
Aatadista with Nitin is complete. There is another Tamil-Telugu bilingual titled Seven.
