I can’t watch horror films alone: Hansika

With four films in her kitty, Hansika talks about her next release, the Telugu dubbed 'Kalavathi' About her role I can't reveal much about the role in 'Kalavathi’ but it's something which is close to my heart. I play Kalavathi, a six months pregnant woman in the film and this is the first time I'm essaying a role of such kind. It was a difficult role to bring life to.

Never saw horror films

It's been 13 years since I've last seen a horror film. I can't watch them alone; I need someone for company. So I did not take any specific reference from any film to look the part. I was observing how pregnant women walk, their body language besides taking inputs from the sets frequently. There were a lot of intense scenes in the film and it was tough enacting them because my mother was around. She gets emotional quickly and director Sundar C ensured that she was not around when I performed such sequences.

Waiting for the right Telugu script

I did not slow down in Telugu but I was waiting for the right script. I did get some offers but the dates were clashing with that of my Tamil commitments. Nonetheless, I’m hopeful of signing a Telugu film soon. I can understand both Telugu and Tamil but I don’t muster the courage to converse in them because I feel I might goof up with the pronunciation part.
