Regina Cassandra speaking to scribes, shared her Bollywood woes. She said , \"A lot of people treated me in a derogatory manner, not just with words, but with actions. It&rsquo;s sort of a derogatory outlook towards me. And, I mean, anyone would be able to tell that I was being put down in a certain way. I did feel it. So I did have some inhibitions in the North. But, having said that, it&rsquo;s not always the case, right?\"\r\nRegina Cassandra after starring in&nbsp; Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga with Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor went on to star in films like Jaat and Kesari: Chapter 2. She also starred in series like Rocket Boys and Farzi.\r\nShe revealed&nbsp; &ldquo;I was a South Indian actress. Compared to most South Indians, my Hindi is way better. I can read, write, and speak Hindi, and all the work I have done to date in the language is in my own voice. It&rsquo;s my own Hindi, and I&rsquo;ve tried to make sure that, you know, I live up to the role that I&rsquo;ve been given,&rdquo;\r\nShe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;I think as a woman in this industry, it&rsquo;s very easy for us to be stereotyped. I mean, it&rsquo;s only obvious because it&rsquo;s a visual medium at the end of the day, and once you see something, it sticks in your head. But I&rsquo;ve always wanted to be versatile. So, it is very difficult for me to pick and choose my films because I don&rsquo;t want to always do mainstream commercial films,&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>

The successful duo Bunny Vaas and Vamsi Nandipati, who recently delivered blockbuster films like Little Hearts, Raju Weds Rambhai, and Eesha, are now bringing a full-length out-and-out entertainer titled &ldquo;Hey Balwanth&rdquo; (title changed from Hey Bhagwan) under the banners of Nandipati Entertainments and Bunny Vaas Works.\r\nThe film stars Suhas, Shivani Nagaram, senior actor Naresh, and anchor Sravanti in key roles. Directed by Gopi Achhar, the movie is produced by B. Narendra Reddy under the Trishul Visionary Studios banner. The movie is set to release on February 20. On this occasion, hero Suhas interacted with the media on Tuesday. Here are the highlights.\r\nWhy was the title changed from &ldquo;Hey Bhagwan&rdquo; to &ldquo;Hey Balwanth&rdquo;?\r\nSince Bhagwan means God, the censor board suggested changing the title. So we changed it to Hey Balwanth. We also changed Naresh&rsquo;s character name. Along with the title, the censor board also considered the movie&rsquo;s concept.\r\nHow is your role in this movie?\r\nI play a youngster who wants to start a business from childhood and wants to take over his father&rsquo;s business. The story revolves around what challenges he faces and what his father&rsquo;s business actually is. The movie is a full entertainer, and my role is also very entertaining.\r\nIt is said this movie was completed in very few working days?\r\nYes. In my career, this is one of the fastest films completed and released after getting finalized. Despite the speed, the movie has very good quality. I wondered if I would ever do a film this fast again.\r\nWhat made you accept this movie?\r\nI liked the story as soon as I heard it. Especially, I connected emotionally along with the entertainment factor. The movie turned out 100 times better than what we expected.\r\nCan we call this Suhas 2.0?\r\nDon&rsquo;t use such big words. But I strongly believe this movie will bring me success.\r\nYou put effort into every film. How do you feel if success doesn&rsquo;t come?\r\nI keep waiting for success. It feels bad, but I immediately prepare for the next film.\r\nWhat are your expectations for &ldquo;Hey Balwanth&rdquo;?\r\nEveryone has strong belief in this movie. Vamsi Nandipati garu has given us great confidence. After consecutive failures, everyone advised me to think carefully before choosing films. Even my wife said the same. So I took a short break and chose Hey Balwanth. I have a lot of confidence in this film.\r\nHow will your role be in the Tamil movie &ldquo;Mandadi&rdquo;?\r\nIt&rsquo;s a Tamil film where I play the main villain. Depending on the result, I may get busy in Tamil cinema. It&rsquo;s a look and character I waited for. They approached me after watching Ambajipeta.\r\nMany people want you to succeed. Have you noticed that?\r\nYes, people feel I am a good actor and want me to get a good film. I consider that my luck.\r\nHow is it doing Tamil films?\r\nI&rsquo;m doing villain roles. It&rsquo;s a very different look, and I&rsquo;m slightly tense about how the audience will receive it.\r\nEarlier you mostly did serious roles. For the first time, you are doing comedy in &ldquo;Hey Balwanth&rdquo;?\r\nIn the beginning of my career, I mostly did comedy roles in short films. After watching my role in this film, my wife also told me to do such films. Luckily, I got this film.\r\nHow do you feel about your career?\r\nI&rsquo;m completely satisfied. If this film becomes a hit, the satisfaction will increase further. Everyone is very confident about the movie. A big success is coming. Even my wife watched the film and enjoyed it a lot. She said these are the kinds of films I should do.\r\nYour next film?\r\nI&rsquo;m doing a film under Karthik Subbaraj&rsquo;s banner. He is providing the story, and his associate is directing it. I&rsquo;m also listening to a few Telugu stories. They will be finalized soon.
