Vedhika — Indian actress, who predominantly works in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil films has recently opened up about her upcoming film Kanchana 3 and her favourite actors. Vedhika, who made her acting debut with Tamil film Madraasi in 2006 said that working on Kanchana 3 was like going on a long holiday. Directed by Raghava Lawrence, and starring Oviya and Vedhika in the significant role is scheduled to release in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam tomorrow on April 19 in India.
According to reports, Vedhika is all set to make her Bollywood debut with untitled thriller opposite her one of the most favourite actors Emraan Hashmi. The Hindi film will be directed by Jeethu Joseph and will also feature Rishi Kapoor in the pivotal role.
The Kaaviya Thalaivan actress said, “It’s exciting to debut all over again. It’s a new industry and it means new opportunities and new people. I’m paired opposite Emraan and he is one of my favourite actors. The film also stars Rishi Kapoor and I’m fortunate enough to share screen space with him as well.”
“When I did ‘Muni’ in 2007, I was very young and didn’t know anything about filmmaking. Back then, Lawrence master was very popular for his dance-based films and I thought I was being called for another dance film. But when I heard the story, I thought this was something new. The story was about a hero who is generally afraid. It was a character I could relate to so much because I get easily scared in real life,” said Vedhika.
“When Lawrence master again called me after so many years and said we should do this film, I thought it would be a great addition to my filmography. With ‘Kanchana 3’, I was getting an opportunity to do something really commercial and I didn’t want to miss it. It’s a film very close to my heart,” she told news agency IANS.
Speaking about her experience while working on the project, Vedhika said, “I gave most call sheets to this movie. I shot for 70 days but I never realised how time flew because we were having so much fun shooting. It was like I was on a big holiday.”
