She’s yet to have a release, but Megha Akash’s avant garde looks caught the eye of Hanu Raghavapudi, the director of her forthcoming release LIE, starring Nithiin. She was quickly on board as the film’s leading lady.
Talking about her role, she reveals, “It’s a vibrant role and full of energy, but in real life, I am quite reserved and shy. While I was my usual self in my earlier films, this film needs me to be lively, so I need to unlearn several things for the role.”
When asked if mouthing Telugu dialogues was difficult for her, the actress replies, “I am relatively new to the language, but director Hanu Raghavapudi helped me with my lines. He also gave me freedom and time to understand my character better.” She adds, “The film is a slick action-drama and has a fresh way of looking at life and its problems.
So how does she feel being an actress?
“Every profession has its own pros and cons, so I am enjoying myself and getting used to the life of an actress. I also learnt that sometimes, we need to unlearn a few things,” Megha expresses, adding, “I have been part of a couple of films in Tamil, and now, the Telugu industry is also offering me interesting projects, so I’m quite lucky.”
Megha has once again been paired opposite Nithiin in her forthcoming film, produced by Pawan Kalyan. “I like the script and my role, so I signed up for it,” she says.
