From Television Screens to Silver Screen: Indira Krishnan's Dual Success
Actress Indira Krishnan is currently experiencing remarkable success across both television and film industries. The talented performer, who portrays Durgawati in the popular television series Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, has recently made a significant impact in the movie Jatadhari, featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu.
Interestingly, Krishnan found herself playing the hero's mother in both productions, showcasing her versatility within similar character archetypes across different mediums. Her performance in both roles has been receiving considerable attention from audiences and critics alike.
Film Success and Professional Appreciation
The actress expressed genuine enthusiasm about Jatadhari's positive performance at the box office and the increased visibility it has brought to her career. She particularly appreciated the film's makers for honoring their commitment to retain her scenes in the final cut, something she acknowledges doesn't always happen in the industry.
"It has been a worthy experience, and I am grateful to producer Prerna Arora for believing in me," shared Krishnan, reflecting on her satisfying collaboration with the production team.
Reuniting with Sonakshi Sinha and South Indian Cinema Praise
Jatadhari marked Krishnan's second professional collaboration with leading actress Sonakshi Sinha after their previous project Holiday. The veteran actress had nothing but praise for her co-star, describing Sinha as "extremely warm and a wonderful co-actor."
Krishnan elaborated on Sinha's professional qualities: "I see immense potential in her as an artiste. She has a great sense of fashion and make-up, and she's constantly honing her craft. Though I didn't share many scenes with her in Holiday, we spent a lot of time together during Jatadhari, and I wish her the best."
The actress also expressed deep admiration for South Indian filmmakers' work ethic and discipline. "I have immense respect for their discipline. Everything runs smoothly, from costumes to camera coordination," she observed, noting that perhaps she values this approach more because of her own South Indian background.
"Maybe I value it more because I'm South Indian myself; it's in our blood to be disciplined and well-prepared. The way they plan shoots and handle last-minute changes is remarkable. Their choice of scripts, whether in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil or Kannada, is outstanding," Krishnan added with evident appreciation.
Future Plans and Reflections on a 24-Year Career
Looking ahead, the actress revealed her interest in exploring more opportunities in South Indian cinema. "I would love to do more work in the South. I've done a few ads and would now like to explore more opportunities there. They are swift, professional and their publicity game is strong," she stated, outlining her professional aspirations.
Despite balancing two demanding mediums, Krishnan maintains equal commitment to both television and films. "For me, the medium doesn't matter. Whether it's TV or films, I give it my hundred per cent. I bring the same conviction to every role," she emphasized.
This consistent approach has helped her maintain relevance on television for an impressive 24-year span. She expressed deep gratitude toward the television industry: "That consistency has helped me stay relevant on television for the past 24 years. I am deeply thankful to TV because it gave me the platform to showcase my craft."
Reflecting on the differences between the two industries, Krishnan noted: "In films, being a good actor is not enough; luck plays a big part too. I can afford to be selective in television, but films are a different ballgame. Still, visibility is greater on TV, and I'm proud of the work I've done there. I feel it's the industry's payback time for me as an actor."
