Making the right move

Kiara Advani says as an actor she does not limit herself to a medium or language as she hopes to establish herself as a Pan-India artiste. After getting her Bollywood breakthrough MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, the 26-year-old actor went on to feature in Telgu films.

“Today, there are so many options available to show your skills, be it in films of your own language or doing regional cinema or being part of the web world. One has to look at every avenue because there is so much work out there. Language is not a barrier anymore. And I want to be known as a Pan-India artiste,” Kiara said. The actor said after success, she has become a bit careful about choosing projects. “There is so much incoming (content) for the audience. You have to be seen and capture their minds and hearts. You never know what work is reaching whom and who is liking what.” Kiara made her debut with Akshay Kumar-produced Fugly, that bombed at the box office.

She said she is happy with her career graph. “My first film did not do well, so people were not sure to work with me, even when I would approach some directors for work. And now the same directors are working with me. Tables turn like that. My upcoming films are giving me an opportunity to perform. This is what I was craving for since I made my debut.”  — PTI
