“I feel if I'm playing an athlete, I know I have to prepare. I need to ...” — Shraddha Srinath Quote

I feel if I'm playing an athlete, I know I have to prepare. I need to get that body language right, I need to walk like an athlete, look like an athlete. If I'm playing a musician, I need to know how to play an instrument.

My character in 'Ivan Thanthiran' is in stark contrast to my role in 'U Turn.' Here, I play Asha, a hard working girl belonging to a middle-class background.

For someone who has no connect with Tamil Nadu, the language or the film industry and to be welcomed by some amazing names purely for my talent feels really great.

I know it wasn't like a meteoric rise, it was not overnight success. Nobody watched my movie, fell in love and said 'I'm her biggest fan.' People took time to warm up to me.

I think when you play with the same defence, you sort of understand each other's body language, and you read off each other, and it's much, much better.

Intimidation is an unusual animal: it's a lot about body language and understanding the human psyche. Knowing that usually a direct stare will crush most human souls, and that's just the basic gist of it... The soul-crushing stare, the fatherly disappointment, mixed with a little bit of hate and rage - you're on your way.

It's not brain surgery. I focus on getting the costumes right, getting the body language. I do what I can with the makeup.

I believe every person has a story that comes out from the way they talk, their opinion, their mindset and their body language.
