<p>Just as destiny had planned, Nikesha got her first break in the Telugu movie Puli. And since then, the Tamil and Kannada industries have taken a note of the actress.<br /><br /> In the City, promoting and encouraging the players in the Celebrity Cricket League, Nikesha tells Metrolife that she has quite a few reasons to rejoice about. “Everything about acting excites me and that’s why for the longest time, I had wanted to get a break in South Indian movies,” she says. Ask her why is she so keen on South Indian cinema being a London-based girl and she says, “I really like the way the film industry works in the South. <br /><br />Not that I have anything against other industries but I have heard of some talented film-makers out here and wanted to gain as much experience as I can in every language than stick to just one industry.”<br /><br />Currently working in two films –– Nanba, a Tamil film with Shanthanu Bhagyara which will be directed by K A Adhiyaman and Narasimha, a Kannada film starring Ravichandran — Nikesha reveals that she had a ball working in both the industries though she didn’t know the language. “It was a little difficult to pick the language up at first but the crew made me feel really comfortable and slowly, I could understand both the languages,” she says. <br /><br />Talking about Narasimha, Nikesha says she plays a glamourous and modern Indian girl. “It’s a romantic movie. Most of the films I have done so far have seen me playing romantic roles. As much as I like them, I wouldn’t mind trying out comedy as well,” she says.<br /><br />Though Nikesha has shot for Narasimha in the City, she says that each time she visits Bangalore, it looks very different. “The last time I came to Bangalore, I was shooting for Narasimha and we had shot in the outskirts with very few houses and lots of trees. This is the first time I have come to the heart of the City and I’m loving even this side of the place,” she signs off.</p>
