Karthika Nair is a South Indian actress who is ready to make her debut in Television with Aarambh. In an interview with PTI, she said, “I didn’t want to start from scratch again. This is why I didn’t try films in Bollywood. I get a lot of respect down south and I thought I will feel alienated there (Bollywood),”
She revealed that the director of Aarambh convinced her for the role of Devsena, a Dravidian princess. “Yes, Prasad sir was my south connect. He knows me and my mother. So, I grew more confident that at least someone knows us here. I knew about Goldie sir’s work. He is famous for shooting projects on a grand level. You cannot go wrong when you combine grandeur with a good script.”, added the 24-year-old actress. Karthika also revealed that her character, Devasena is not similar to that of the character in Baahubali. The two characters are different and have a different role to play.
Vijendra Prasad wanted this story as a movie but then it suited more for television. The script was so vast that no director would have been able to compress it into one movie.
