One of the most famous actors from South Industry, Naga Chaitanya is all set for his Hindi Debut film Laal Singh Chadha with Amir Khan but before this Naga has rejected several Bollywood movies. The actor also revealed the reason behind it.
In a recent interview speaking about how it takes so long to enter Bollywood. The actor said, “I grew up in Chennai and shifted to Hyderabad. So, my Hindi has not been the best. I have been sort of insecure about that for a very long time. That’s the reason why I have shied away sometimes from Hindi films when I have gotten an offer. In fact, when I told people that my Hindi is very ‘South Indian’, people have thought twice to be honest.” The actor also revealed the experience of doing Laal Singh Chadha and said “When I got the offer for Laal Singh Chaddha, I gave them the same ‘disclaimer’. Aamir sir was totally comfortable with that because I am being cast as a South Indian boy who goes up north and that’s where our journey begins. They wanted me to be South Indian in the way I speak. I do speak Hindi in the film but if I slip in a Telugu word or adopt a Telugu accent, they were totally fine with that. In fact, we incorporated a few words here and there to bring in a Telugu flavor.
Speaking about the role of Naga Chaitanya in his upcoming film and the possibility to work in Bollywood films and said, “I think I needed a transition film like this. We shot sync sound and my lines were given to me way in advance. This whole process has given me a lot of confidence to do a Hindi film and be showcased on a Bollywood platform. But the true test is on August 11. The audience needs to accept me. If I pass that test, I would definitely love to look for more opportunities.”
