I will always choose South over Bollywood: Kajal Agarwal

Kajal Agarwal, who is elated about the massive success of Sardar Gabbar Singh, talks about working with Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan, her Bollywood plans and more. Excerpts from an interview:

You must be on high now that Sardar Gabbar Singh is a hit I am elated with the response of the film. It is a commercial entertainer. Pawan Kalyan is known for giving mass entertainers. I had a great time playing a contemporary princess in the film since it was totally different than the princess I played in Maghadhira.

How was it working with Pawan Kalyan Pawan Kalyan is a fabulous actor. He is so focused on his scenes especially during his stunts. It was amazing working with him.

With only two films in Bollywood so far, it seems like a conscious effort to focus on south projects My next Bollywood film Do Lafzon Ki Kahani with Randeep Hooda is releasing in May. It is an intense love story where I play a visually impaired girl. It is purely out of choice that I do several films down south since I learned a lot from there but my mother-tongue is Hindi so I am making the best of both.

Do you have any offers from Bollywood post Do Lafzon Ki Kahani I am in talks for a couple of films but I will only be able to talk after a month or so.

If given an option, which one will you pick between Bollywood and South film industries It is impossible to choose, but my loyalty stays for Southern films since I debuted there and made my mark as an actor over there.

How difficult is it for you to juggle the two industries Not that difficult. I have been juggling them for nine years. I stay in Mumbai and travel for work whenever required.

What is your take on south remakes being explored in Bollywood It’s great because southern films are highly creative and rich in content. From technicians to co-stars, everyone is amazing. It is a beautiful amalgamation.

Would you like any of your own South movies to be remade in Bollywood Mr Perfect has a huge potential to be remade and I think Hrithik Roshan will be the best choice.
