We shot 'Telusa Telusa' song in Bolivia. It took us 50 hours to get to the location. We shot in high altitudes, and oxygen cylinders were kept handy.
-
When I heard the script of 'Loukyam,' I was laughing, as it was such a laugh riot. So all this made me sign the film.
-
I consider Rashi Khanna and Regina Cassandra as my best friends. They say there are three Rs in the Telugu industry: Rakul, Rashi, and Regina. All three of us debuted in the same year, and while we all compete for the same roles, we are still the closest, and we confide in each other.
-
I can memorise lines quickly. Knowing Telugu now has helped improve my performance.
-
I love being in Hyderabad, as I never get bored like I do in Mumbai.
-
I would love to experiment with roles. But when people say that we are not doing anything different, it is because directors do not approach us with diverse roles.
-
If I wasn't an actress, I'd never wear make up. I liked being ready in half an hour and arrive on the sets. Even for a no-makeup look, if one has a dark under-eye on a particular day, a little makeup is used. I had no scope for that as well.
-
Even though I've danced with actors, it wasn't the same with NTR.
-
I understand only three things - films, fitness, and food.
-
A lot of people tell me, 'You are from North; how do you manage to get along in the South?' I don't know what to say to them. I've always felt at home here, and by learning to speak Telugu, my connection with the place has gotten that much stronger.
-
I was a filmy kid. I was two when I faced the camera for the first time. My parents realised it pretty early, and I'm really thankful to them for their support and help.
-
When I am going out, I am in ponytail, jeans, tees. I am just like any girl-next-door. Beauty is not external; it's internal. When you are a happy soul, you would be beautiful any time.
-
I have an interest in languages and make an effort to learn.
-
Working with Sukumar was amazing. He's someone who trusts his actors and allows them to experiment with dialogues and scenes. When you're working with him, you learn a lot subconsciously, and that helped me in discovering the actor within.
-
I didn't comment on any actress, and I have never compared myself with any senior actresses. Moreover, I have said many times that I have learnt a lot from my seniors. Don't spread rumours and false news about me.
-
'Winner' is a commercial family entertainer with a strong emotional core. Teju couldn't hold back his tears after watching the movie. The horse race portions were mostly shot in Turkey.
-
Boyapati is one of the few directors who can pull off a masala film like 'Sarrainodu'.
-
A lot of people don't know that I had a special appearance in 'Keratam'; that was my first Telugu film. I only shot for four to five days. When they called me, I said, 'I can't give 60 days for a movie. If you have something for one week or 10 days, then I can accommodate.'
-
Charan is very hard-working and non-egoistic, given the family he comes from. He is very open to listening, and he surrenders himself completely to the director. It was lovely to work with an actor like that.
-
For me, fitness is not just about hitting the gym; it is also about an inner happiness and an overall well-being.
-
Speaking in broken Telugu is one thing, and dubbing is another.
-
I like to work hard and complete my films one after the other.
-
People ask if success changes one overnight. I am just doing my job, and I worked way too hard to get here. I didn't get it easy.
-
I never feel insecure when there are two female leads.
