Nagabhushana, a Kannada actor, is currently managing two different aspects of his career: one as a lead actor and the other as a character or supporting actor. Initially facing challenges in getting work in the Kannada film industry, he took on any role offered to him to showcase his talent. He reflects on his journey and growth, emphasizing the importance of a film's success in advancing an actor's career. His breakthrough came with the success of his films "Ikkat" and "Badava Rascal," which allowed him to prove himself both as a lead and supporting actor. Recent successes in films like "Daredevil Musthafa," "Kousalya Supraja Rama," and "Tagaru Palya" further boosted his confidence as an actor. Nagabhushana also discusses his approach to comedy roles, choosing to be seen as an actor who excels in comedy rather than just a comedian. He emphasizes adding his own touch to roles for a natural performance, even when directors prefer strict adherence to the script.For myself and them, the work on the film did not pan out. It is crucial for us to understand when to take action and when not to. For example, in Badava Rascal, I simply portrayed myself as the character required that. However, in Ikkat, the role demanded a more exaggerated performance. Currently, my focus lies on my upcoming movie, Vidyapati, where I have the lead role. It is a significant project for me, being a high-budget film with a lot riding on my performance. While I feel the pressure, I also believe in the story's appeal to entertain the audience. The film promises many surprises. Additionally, I am taking on a supporting role in Anna From Mexico, which will showcase a different aspect of my acting abilities. I am grateful for being so busy, not having had a day off in a month. This is a change from my previous bachelor life, where I had more freedom. Now, post my wedding earlier this year, I am reminded that someone is always waiting for me at home after work.
