Rhea Chakraborty, the beautiful actress starred in movies like Half Girlfriend, Bank Chor, The Lead Lady and more. The former MTV VJ is currently in Hyderabad to check up and sign up on her upcoming projects in Telugu.

So, does she like the weather here?

“Yeah, I love it here…The last time I came here, it was pretty hot. Now it`s much cooler and calmer” she says smiling.

She states “Recently, I have done some movies in Bollywood. They`re doing alright at the box office. So, I have come down to Hyderabad to hear out some scripts and finalize some projects.”

Recently, her movie called Bank Chor was facing some issues from the CBFC as the title misleads to an informal adjective.

She explains saying “Yeah, technically, the title is just a simple one but people misunderstood that. It is a good movie though. It has a lot of comedy and it`s a lot of fun to watch. I`m sure people will like it”

She continues “The title resembles an informal word that we use in our daily lives and that`s why it was objected by CBFC.”

She was asked recently, why she is never signing up South projects even though she is from Banglore. To which she replied quickly

“I`d like to clarify that I am not from Banglore. My mom is Mangalorean and My dad is Bengali. I was born in Pune, So, yeah…”

Rhea Chakraborty then goes on to tell about her role in her upcoming flick, Bank Chor.

“I play a funny journalist in the movie. She is Bengali girl and her name is Gayathri Ganguly. It's a Larger-than-life character for me. Portraying a comedy character is Tough and I hope I gave my best” she stated.

Rumors suggest that she is likely to be signing up some new projects in South soon. So, she was asked some random questions about Telugu movies.

She spontaneously responded.

What`s the most recent movie you have watched in Telugu?

“I have watched Manam. I have also watched Bahubali. But technically, Bahubali is not a south film. It is an international Indian Movie”

Rana or Prabhas from Bahubali?

“Rana because I know him personally and we occasionally share ideas on future projects and stuff. He`s a great friend.”

Favorite actors in Telugu?

“I like Allu Arjun, Rana, and Pawan Kalyan”

Dream Role?

“I like Vidya Balan in Kahani, Rani Mukherjee in Black and Anusha Shetty in Baahubali. There are many Dream roles to choose from”

What`s your take on actresses being only an add-on to the glamor point to the movies?

“I disagree on that. Yes, there are movies that only focus on that quotient of an actress but not all movies are like that. Things are changing now. There are many scripts with powerful roles for women and I am looking forward to doing those kinds of films in future.”

Are you learning Telugu?

“Yes I am and I will soon start speaking too”

Lastly, what are your hobbies?

“I like Dancing, Poetry and I am also writing a script. I am also taking martial arts training. I think Women are not safe in this country and for self-defense, every woman should learn martial arts to protect themselves”
