JOIN US'I want to take it slow'
Actress Sindhu Loknath believes that emoting is not just about talking. She learnt this while working on her latest project ‘Rakshasi’, the audio of which was released in the City recently. ‘Rakshasi’ is not only an unusual script but also portrays a range of emotions, feels Sindhu.
When asked why she opted to do a horror film, Sindhu explains that people have always liked horror films but they have failed to get more audience because most of them are made rather shabbily. “The horror films that are made in our country don’t compare to the standards of the ones made in Hollywood. They should scare people and not make them laugh,” she states. About her character, Sindhu says, “I am not allowed to talk much about the role but all I can say is that there’s nothing evil about it. They are happy ghosts.”
Sindhu says she has been a little choosy when it comes to her projects. “I want to take it slow because I want people to have a certain image of me. I don’t want to take up just about anything that comes my way. It is better to work on one good project rather than work in a line of them and not get noticed,” she says.
She also says she is careful not to get stuck with traditional roles and prefers to get
into something more challenging where she can get a chance to explore her acting prowess. “I’ve always wanted to play a bully on screen but a nice one at that,” she adds.
The dearth of good scripts hasn’t dampened Sindhu’s spirits. She is keeping herself occupied by doing things that she always wanted to do and dancing and travelling top the list.
Sindhu always wanted to learn various dance forms, “I’ve always wanted to learn ballet and now that I have some time, I’ve signed up for ballet classes. My toes, back and knees always hurt after a round of ballet but it has been interesting
to learn something new,” she adds.
Sindhu also enjoys adventure and travel. “I recently went on a trek to Ladakh and that’s the time when the incident of a cloud burst was reported. There were a lot of people who lost their lives during the calamity and a few were injured as well. We couldn’t complete the trek because of the extreme weather conditions,” she adds.
She is now saving up and preparing to travel to Mount Kilimanjaro early next year.
