Actor JP Reddy, also known as JP, is prepared to share a story that he believes will resonate with anyone who has made the transition from a rural village to a city in pursuit of a better education. The upcoming film, Karki, represents the directorial debut of Tamil filmmaker Pavitran in Kannada cinema. JP describes the film as addressing various compelling issues, including caste dynamics and the significance of education on a broader scale. Adapting to his role was a challenging process for JP, who initially questioned his ability to embody the character presented to him by director Pavitran. Despite being a city dweller, JP dedicated himself to transforming his demeanor to accurately portray a local boy. This transformation involved losing weight, adjusting his body language, and limiting his wardrobe to four shirts sourced from Gurjari market in Shivajinagar for the film's entirety. JP underscores the importance of immersing oneself in a role as an actor, emphasizing that understanding and embodying the character's essence is paramount to delivering an authentic performance.
