Actor JP Reddy, also known as JP, is preparing to share a story that resonates with individuals who transition from rural to urban areas in pursuit of better education. The upcoming film, Karki, represents Tamil director Pavitran's debut in Kannada cinema. JP describes the film as delving into complex themes such as caste dynamics and the importance of education on a broader scale. Adapting to his role has proven to be a challenge for JP, who initially questioned his ability to embody the character. Despite being a city dweller, he underwent a significant transformation in his appearance and demeanor to portray a local character authentically. This process involved shedding weight, altering his body language, and embracing a new wardrobe sourced from Gurjari market in Shivajinagar. JP emphasizes the importance of actors fully immersing themselves in their roles, emphasizing that without this commitment, attempting to portray a character authentically would be futile.
