Nagabhushana, a Kannada actor, is currently managing two aspects of his career: one as a lead actor and the other as a character or supporting actor. Starting out in the Kannada film industry was challenging, as he had to prove his talent before significant opportunities came his way. He accepted any role offered to him and gave it his best. Reflecting on his journey, he emphasizes the importance of a film's commercial success in determining an actor's growth. He credits two of his films, "Ikkat" and "Badava Rascal," for being hits and propelling his career forward. Last year, his involvement in successful movies like "Daredevil Musthafa," "Kousalya Supraja Rama," and "Tagaru Palya" further boosted his confidence as an actor. Choosing to be seen as an actor who excels in comedy rather than just a comedian, he values adding his own touch to the roles he plays. While he respects directors' instructions to deliver lines as written, he also enjoys infusing his performances with natural authenticity.I have not worked on the film for myself or for others. It is crucial to understand when to take action and when to refrain from doing so. For example, in the movie Badava Rascal, I portrayed a character that required me to simply be myself, whereas in Ikkat, I had to employ a more exaggerated acting style. Currently, my focus is entirely on my upcoming film, Vidyapati, in which I play the lead role once again. This project holds great significance to me due to its substantial budget and the responsibility placed on me as the lead actor. Despite feeling anxious, I have faith in the story and its ability to entertain audiences with its surprises. Additionally, I have taken 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 recently, as I have not had a day off in a month. This is a stark contrast to my previous lifestyle as a bachelor, where I had more freedom. Now, I am accountable to someone waiting for me at home after work.
