Nagabhushana, a Kannada actor, is currently managing two different aspects of his acting career - one as a lead actor and the other as a character or supporting actor. He reflects on the challenges of starting off in the Kannada film industry, emphasizing the importance of proving one's talent before significant opportunities arise. His journey has been marked by key successes in films such as "Ikkat" and "Badava Rascal," where his performances helped propel his career forward. Nagabhushana stresses the significance of a film's commercial success in influencing an actor's growth, highlighting how box office performance can impact future opportunities. He points to recent films like "Daredevil Musthafa," "Kousalya Supraja Rama," and "Tagaru Palya," all of which turned out to be hits and contributed to boosting his confidence as an actor. Nagabhushana also discusses his approach to comedic roles, distinguishing between being perceived as a comedian versus an actor with comic timing. He prefers the latter, as it allows for a broader range of performance and the opportunity to infuse his own personality into the roles he plays. While he acknowledges the importance of delivering dialogue as written by the script, Nagabhushana also values adding a personal touch to his performances to ensure authenticity on screen.Neither for me nor for them, the role did not work out in the film. Understanding when to act and when not to act is crucial. For example, in Badava Rascal, portraying the character authentically was sufficient, whereas in Ikkat, a more exaggerated performance was needed. Currently, my focus is on my next film, Vidyapati, in which I play the lead role. Given its significance as a high-budget project, I feel a sense of responsibility as the lead actor. Despite feeling anxious, I believe in the story's potential to entertain audiences with its unexpected twists. Additionally, I have a supporting role in Anna From Mexico that allows me to showcase another facet of my acting abilities. I am thankful for my busy schedule, which has not granted me a day off in a month. This shift, especially post my recent wedding, highlights the change in priorities from a carefree bachelor to a responsible partner who eagerly returns home after work.
