Happy to be a part of actor-director Nagashekar's upcoming film Maasthi Gudi, actress Kriti Kharbanda has said how she was roped into the project. "I had my platter full towards the end of last year, so I hadn't signed any new films in Kannada. Then, Nagashekhar approached me with this film. I liked the role and the subject. Plus, I've known the kind of female characters he has in his films. So I agreed, even though I had to manage it with my debut films in two other industries," she has told a leading daily.
The Belli actress is excited about her Tamil and Hindi debut as well. "People have asked me why I had not tried Tamil or Hindi earlier. My debut there now is the best thing, as I've had a training ground in Kannada, but I get to start afresh in two industries, which means I can carry on longer as an actress." According to Kriti, she is having the best phase of her life. She has said, "It (Tamil & Hindi debut) wasn't planned, but I'm glad it worked out this way. I'd like to believe this is the best phase of my life. Earlier, I used to do films for visibility, but now I have the choice to wait for a good, challenging role."
