This year, you have two big releases – Maharshi in Tollywood and Housefull 4 in Bollywood. Are you excited?

I am so nervous! Maharshi releases on May 9. Mahesh Babu films always do well. It is a very big film. Housefull 4, on the other hand, is going to be crazy. It is going to be a laughter riot. It is a beautiful looking film.

We have heard a lot about Mahesh Babu. How was your experience?

He is very clued into what works in the industry. He is a very good director, which not many people know. I think he should direct a film soon. He will be a very good director.

How different are your characters in Maharshi and Housefull 4?

My characters in both the films are very different. In the Mahesh Babu starrer, I play a girl who is very simple and is happy about small things in life. Although not complicated, she is a bit bossy. The Housefull 4 character is completely opposite. It is another kind of character and in fact, a very different kind of acting. Sometimes in some of the scenes, I have done over the top acting because that is what the comedy scenes demanded. So, they are two very different films.

This is your first time with Vamshi Paidipally too. Tell us about the collaboration.

Vamshi sir is very passionate about what he does. I was the only clown on the sets because I was always laughing and joking. For me, it was all about having good energy on the sets. He has written a very good script and I hope people will connect to it.

Has working in Tollywood helped you in Bollywood?
