Actor Nagabhushana of Kannada is currently managing two aspects of his career - one as a leading actor and the other as a character or supporting actor. Starting out in the Kannada film industry, he emphasizes the need to demonstrate talent to secure significant opportunities. Recalling his beginnings, the actor mentions taking on any small role offered and giving his best. Reflecting on his journey, he highlights the importance of a film's success in determining an actor's progression. Two pivotal films, "Ikkat" where he played the lead, and "Badava Rascal," showcasing an intriguing character, propelled his career forward. Last year, his involvement in successful projects like "Daredevil Musthafa," "Kousalya Supraja Rama," and "Tagaru Palya," boosted his confidence. Nagabhushana prefers to be seen by his audience as an actor with a flair for comedy rather than solely a comedian, as it allows for more versatility in performances. He mentions infusing his own touch into roles, aiming for natural delivery while occasionally following exact scripts as directed by filmmakers.For me, neither for them, I didn't work on the film. Understanding when to act and when to refrain from acting is crucial. For example, my role in Badava Rascal required me to just be myself, while in Ikkat, I had to deliver a more exaggerated performance. My focus is now on my next film, Vidyapati, where I play the lead role. It's a significant project for me, being a big-budget film. The responsibility as the lead actor makes me feel anxious, but I believe in the story and am confident that it will entertain the audience with its surprises. Additionally, I have a supporting role in Anna From Mexico, which will showcase another aspect of my acting skills. I am thankful for being busy after my wedding earlier this year, as it keeps me occupied. As a bachelor, there was no one waiting for me at home, but now, I know someone is eagerly waiting for my return.
