"Taking on the role of the lead hero in movies comes with a great responsibility, says Nagabhushana"
Nagabhushana, the Kannada actor, is currently managing two different aspects of his career - starring roles and character/supporting roles. He reflects on starting out in the industry, mentioning how crucial it is to showcase talent to secure significant opportunities. He discusses his professional journey, emphasizing the importance of a film's success in determining growth. Noting the impact of his successful films, 'Ikkat' and 'Badava Rascal', he explains that these hits were pivotal moments that propelled his career forward. Nagabhushana believes that the audience's reception is key, regardless of how well an actor performs. He discusses his roles in various successful films from the past year and how achieving box office success boosts his confidence as an actor. Choosing to be seen as an actor who excels in comedy rather than just a comedian, Nagabhushana values adding his own touch to roles to make his performances feel authentic. He touches on the balance between delivering scripted lines as directed and injecting personal nuances into his performances for a more natural delivery.I am not only focused on my role in the film, "Vidyapati," but also understand the importance of knowing when to act accordingly, as seen in my past roles in "Badava Rascal" and "Ikkat." In "Badava Rascal," I simply portrayed myself, while "Ikkat" required a more exaggerated performance. As I gear up for "Vidyapati," a significant project for me as the lead in a high-stakes, big-budget production, I feel both anxious and confident. I firmly believe in the story's entertainment value and the surprises it holds. Additionally, I am taking on a supporting role in "Anna From Mexico," which allows me to showcase different aspects of my acting abilities. Despite the intense schedule and lack of days off, I am grateful for the busy period following my recent wedding. As a married man now, I am mindful of someone waiting for me at home, a responsibility I didn't have to consider as a bachelor.
