Films were part of her life as she did her first at the age of 8 and reveals that though she kept away, films were coming to her, it was destiny. Apparently, Nithya almost turned down ‘Ala Modalaindhi’ as she wanted to do cinematography in FTII, Pune. However, the brainwash of director Nandini Reddy worked. Nithya says she has never done a film for commercial reasons and her homeland Mollywood knows her as an art actress.
She doesn’t want to do superficial roles as she feels that she has sufficient talent so she picks her films. In no time, she picked up Telugu as she forced her unit boys and staff to speak in the language. That helped her in dubbing. As for her singing in films, Nithya says art is inborn so music, dance, acting can’t be taught, they come naturally. She also revealed about her upcoming films- first there is the Malayalam movie ‘Urumi’ wherein she plays a princess. Then there is the Tamil movie Veppam produced by Gautham Menon. Last but not the least, there is ‘180’ with Siddarth directed by Jayendra.
