<p>After being a part of the web series ‘Bengaluru Queens’ and upcoming film ‘Vasu - Naan Pakka Commercial’, actor Chaithra Achar is all set to explore herself as an actor in a detailed role in the ‘Curious Cases of Yedebadita’. The actor talks about movies and more in a chat with Tini Sara Anien.<br /><br />How did you start acting?<br /><br />It was during my engineering course at MSRIT that acting and other extra-curricular activities happened. During my third year, I played the role of ‘Silent Swathi’ in ‘Bengaluru Queens’ and in the fourth year of my engineering, I acted in ‘Vasu...’. I always wanted to get into singing and explore other artforms and it all happened in a flow.<br /><br />So how did ‘Curious Cases of Yedebadita’ happen?<br /><br />A friend who acted with me in ‘Bengaluru Queens’ told me that auditions were open for the film. I auditioned and before I knew it, I was in. Ashwin detailed me about my character Inchara and we were soon discussing the details of the role. <br /><br />Tell us about your character...<br /><br />Inchara is a bold and dominating person. She is very different from what I am. Portraying someone entirely different from what I am was quite challenging. There was a lot of homework required for the role. My character falls in love with Ashwin Rao Pallaki’s character and the story progresses.<br /><br />Every project teaches one different things. What have you learnt about yourself here?<br /><br />One gets to live many different lives as an actor and learn about different people. As an actor, I have realised that I can adapt easily to any character. <br /><br />Coming from a theatre background, how different was it to act in movies?<br /><br />The camera picks up the smallest detail and thus acting has to be natural and subtle in movies. Theatre requires a lot of exaggeration. When in <br />theatre, concentrating on one’s part isn’t that hard but on movie sets, there <br />are a lot of distractions and it can be quite a struggle. <br /><br />Three traits every actor should have...<br /><br />Patience, spontaneity and a creative streak.<br /><br />What attracts you to a movie?<br /><br />The team behind the movie and its script.<br /><br />Singing is your passion. How important is music to you?<br /><br />I trained in Carnatic music for eight years and music plays a big part in my life. It is a big stressbuster. Listening to a track can leave me rejuvenated. <br /><br /> The last track you heard and loved...<br /><br />I was listening to the song ‘Ondu Malebillu...’ from the film ‘Chakravarthy’ recently. It is a track I love to pieces. <br /><br /> What makes you smile?<br /><br />I’m a happy person. I am always brimming with energy. Anything and everything around me can make me smile. I really love people with a good sense of humour. <br /><br /> </p>
