ARCHANA VEDA-QUOTE MARTIAL

"Nenu my first film is very close to my heart.The kind of appreciation I got for that movie, I didn't get for any other film that I've done so far"!!!!

"I wanted to act in this movie right since I heard that a film called 'Ramdas' was being made. I feel very lucky & happy to be a part of this movie considering I was called to do a full make-up in costume screen-test even after most of the cast had already been finalised. It's a dream come true... so early in my career!!!"

"Considering that right from my college days Nagarjuna, Venkatesh & Chiranjeevi have been my favorite heroes. So I was really excited and very happy to get a chance to work with Nagarjuna. He really made me feel very comfortable and not once did I feel tense or nervous working opposite him!!!"

"See glamour is a part of the film industry. Some characters are glamour oriented while some might not require to be glamorous. As long as it looks good on screen and the character requires it there is nothing wrong about it...So I feel!!!"

"How well a movie does is not in my hands. The character I am doing need not necessarily be throughout the movie. As long as the role is good and I am satisfied with it I am happy!!!

Cinema is an unusual place for a Mechanical Engineering graduate from the BITS, Pilani, to be in but Kanika says she finds the place very interesting.

Earlier, the actress has also dubbed for Sada in Anniyan.

Her latest major film is Hariharan’s Pazhassiraja opposite Mammootty, a magnum opus written by the Gnanpith award winner M T Vasudevan Nair.

In this interview, Kanika talks to Shobha Warrier about her career in films and how it feels to be part of Sivaji.
