With an intoxicating beauty and performance with naturalism, actress Divi Vadthya, although she rose to fame with Bigg Boss, has been one of those very few Telugu actresses who is always bringing something very natural and unique to the audience with every single project of hers.
Divi is now playing the lead role in the film Lambasinghi that hit theatres today (March 15), and if you happen to watch the trailer of the film, she was looking divinely with little to no make-up in those simple churidars playing a village girl.
Speaking exclusively with The Pioneer ahead of the film’s release, Divi confessed, “When I heard about Lambasinghi, I felt it was written for me. It was very beautiful, and there was nothing in the project to say NO to. I took it up as soon as the script was narrated to me.”
From Maharshi to ATM to Chiranjeevi’s Godfather, Divi has done a handful of projects in Tollywood, yet she still gives auditions, and she is okay to give them. We asked her about her character-choosing process, and given her history of doing varied roles, she informed us, “Initially, when I started my career, I got rejected 80–100 times, but now, when I give an audition, I almost get selected. The second thing is that I am ensuring that the roles I’m taking suit my personality and physique. Because I’m tall and strong, those kinds of roles make an impact. In big films, I’m choosing roles; in small films, I’m playing the main lead.”
Coming back to Lambasinghi, the film was completely shot in the jungles and tribal areas of Lambasinghi. Was it difficult for her to shoot there? Of course, it was very difficult, so much so that she was even hospitalised for three days. But it looks like her hard work is going to pay off, as the film so far has been receiving great responses from all corners. The Bigg Boss fame shared with us, “Shooting for Lambasinghi is the most beautiful thing I loved. We shot for 45 days, and it was a beautiful experience in itself. Every shooting will leave a lot of memories. I am carrying so many memories of Lambasinghi with me. This is the movie I have been waiting for. However, during the shooting, caravans were not available. The whole team was made up of men. We were shooting in the jungle, and there were no caravans, so if I had to pee, I had to go to the jungle; if I had to poop, I had to go to the jungle while shooting. Suddenly, I fell sick. I had diarrhea. It was difficult for me to cope in the end, as I fell sick. On my 38th or 40th day, I was admitted to the hospital for three days. And we came back and finished the song shoot, and we closed the schedule.”
The actress who started her career in Tollywood is looking forward to doing many things here. She is so passionate about acting that she even learned Tamil so that she can deliver a more organic performance if, at all, she happens to make her debut in Tamil. She is also learning Kannada, for that matter. However, she is happy with how things are going with her in Tollywood, as she mentioned, “A lot of opportunities are coming my way now, and I am hoping that Lambasinghi will give me more opportunities as a main lead. I also think that in big films, I am not getting the main lead roles. I am looking for a lead role in a big film. I am waiting for that day. Moreover, I have learned Tamil just because I wanted to get into the Tamil industry. I also learned a little Kannada. In acting, if you know the language, it’s an added benefit. As actors, performance matters. I am more of a performer, so for me, I need more performance-oriented films.”
She spilled the beans, saying that she signed two to three projects in Telugu and is also trying to get her career started in other languages as well. However, she doesn’t want to confine herself to just this; she is dreaming of even bigger things in life, and that is: “I am waiting for the day to shoot in other languages, but in Telugu I am doing well with good projects, but one day I hope to go to Hollywood. It is my dream to go to Hollywood. It may take 10 years or 15 years, whatever, but my ultimate dream is Hollywood.”
Well, going by how passionate she is about acting, we hope one day she gets to Hollywood and makes Indians even prouder of her work. Having played many roles, she is wondering what kind of roles she is looking forward to playing personally. Here is what she said: “In all the films I played, one was naïve, one was village belle. But personally, I want to do a rebellious kind of role that will suit me more. A village girl is strong, rude, and arrogant. I want to have that kind of personality. I want to experiment with different kinds of characters and try all kinds of roles.”
But her role in Chiranjeevi’s Godfather remains her all-time favourite character because: “All these days, I performed in songs and different characters, but the one with Chiranjeevi Garu is my personal favourite. I did a de-glam role, and people just saw my performance, then my glamour, and then my beauty. Performance plays the main role. Chiranjeevi Garu gave me a key role in the film. He is a humble person, and I am so glad that I was able to work with him.” And here comes an important update about Pushpa 2, the most eagerly awaited film of Allu Arjun after the humongous success of Pushpa 1. “In Pushpa 2, I’m playing a journalist, which is going to be a very good role for me because I play a positive journalist role. I am also waiting to watch the film. I still have 20 days of shooting left for the film. We just started the shoot; so many days to go,” concluded the beauty.
