I\u2019m very open to it. I don\u2019t think language is a barrier anymore. And I would love to explore more (regional cinema). I have always been open to it. It wasn\u2019t that I was saying \u2018No\u2019. I\u2019ve been offered so many regional films in different languages. But I\u2019ve been busy with my commitments over here (Hindi cinema). They never kind of worked out.\u201d According to the official logline, the supernatural horror investigates the enigma of Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple, examining myths and theories about its alleged supernatural powers.<\/p>\n<p>The actor, known for \u201cDabangg\u201d, \u201cLootera\u201d, \u201cAkira\u201d, \u201cHappy Phir Bhag Jayegi\u201d and \u201cKhandaani Shafakhana\u201d, will be seen in the role of antagonist Dhanpisachini in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Sinha, also known for her streaming shows \u201cDahaad\u201d and \u201cHeeramandi\u201d, said she considers herself a director\u2019s actor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI (follow) my directors\u2019 vision as they\u2019ve stayed with the film longer. They\u2019ve been a part of the writing process, so they have an idea. And as an actor, it\u2019s my job to execute that. If I feel that there\u2019s a need for my input, if I want to play it a certain way or do something different, I say it. But mostly, I try to follow what my director\u2019s vision is. Venkat sir had given me complete freedom.<\/p>\n<p>STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the first shot happened, I know he (director) was a bit nervous\u2026 I had never done anything like this before so he wasn\u2019t sure what to expect.

He was like, \u2018this is my Dhanapisachani\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJatadhara\u201d also features actors Divya Khossla, Shilpa Shirodkar, Indira Krishna, Ravi Prakash, Naveen Neni, Rohit Pathak, Jhansi, Rajeev Kanakala and Subhalekha Sudhakar, and released in both Telugu and Hindi.<\/p>\n<p>The film is produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Shivin Narang, Aruna Agarwal, Prerna Arora, Shilpa Singhal, and Nikhil Nanda and co-produced by Akshay Kejriwal and Kussum Arora and released in theatres on November 7.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstpost.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Home<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstpost.com\/entertainment\/\" title=\"Entertainment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment<\/a>Amid Deepika Padukone&#8217;s 8-hour shift demand, Sonakshi Sinha says &#8216;work-life balance is very good in Tollywood&#8217;: &#8216;They work only for a&#8230;&#8217;End of Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201c(In the south) if you come for a shoot at 9, you cannot shoot after 6.
