<p>Sindhu Loknath, who was last seen in ‘Heegondhu Dina’, is back with ‘Kaanadante Maayavadanu’, a Kannada film which released this Friday.</p>.<p>In a candid chat with <em>Metrolife,</em> she spoke about her recent film and more. </p>.<p class="Question"><strong>What about the film impressed you?</strong></p>.<p>I was impressed by the storyline. It’s a love story, which involves a ghost. The whole concept was quite intriguing.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>When did you start shooting? </strong></p>.<p>We started in 2016 and it took three years. Uday’s death, who played the antagonist originally, meant that the second half of the film had to be reshot. This caused a delay.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Tell us a bit about your role.</strong></p>.<p>I play the role of Vandana, a girl who works with an NGO. She is always working towards the betterment of society, especially underprivileged children.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How did you prepare for your role?</strong></p>.<p>Though I did not have to do any major preparation, it was quite a different experience for me. I am not at all like Vandana in real life. She is a selfless and mature person, who knows exactly what she wants to do in life.</p>.<p>My director advised me on how to portray her and I hope I have done justice. </p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How different was it to work in a thriller?</strong></p>.<p>‘Kaanadante Maayavadanu’ is a fantasy-thriller love story. Every genre is interesting in its own way. However, we faced some challenges while shooting action scenes. </p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How was it to shoot in Kashmir? </strong></p>.<p>The experience was wonderful. We shot there just a few days before Article 370 was abrogated. The costumes, the background and the cinematography combined to give some mind-blowing scenes.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Did the delay in the release of the film cause you to feel apprehensive?</strong></p>.<p>I was hoping for an early release so that I could get better roles; I didn’t want to repeat the same old characters that I had been doing. When the release was delayed, people even thought that I quit acting. </p>.<p>The audience expects actors to be on screen regularly. They expect actors to do films, whether those are good or bad. I work differently and want to do roles that I will be remembered in the years to come. </p>.<p class="Question"><strong>What is the kind of films you want to do?</strong></p>.<p>I would love to do a biopic on PT Usha since I am a sportsperson myself. I would also like to play the role of a mentally-challenged person, as I am sure such a role would challenge me as an actress.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>You have a business now. Does that mean that you’ll be seen lesser on the screen?</strong></p>.<p>I own a beauty and health products company called ‘Sinfully Myne’, which creates organic products for the hair and face. But, this doesn’t mean that I will be seen any less on the silver screen.</p>
