Sada eyes Hindi films

After a hiatus, Sada is back under the spotlight.

Role call Sada features in two Hindi films.
She has been part of so many blockbusters (think Jayam, Aparachitudu, Neevalle Neevalle…), and is yet happy blending into the background. That’s actress Sada for you. She prefers to
let her work do the talking. “I maintain a very low profile. I am not part of gossip columns and take time to open up to people. I do give interviews before a film’s release, but that’s about it,” she says.
Currently shooting for Sangeeth Sivan’s Hindi film, Click, where she is paired with the toast of critics, Shreyas Talpade, Sada is all excited about her role. “I play a model in the film, and my role is both challenging and glamorous,” she adds.
Her other Hindi film, Sreenivas’ Love Game, with Randeep Hooda, where she plays a girl-next-door, is awaiting release.
And, Leelai, a remake of Ram Gopal Varma’s ghost flick Darling, with Madhavan, is due to hit the big screen too. So is the Malayalam Novel with Jayaram.
Can life get better? “Yeah! I am 90 per cent happy with my career. But, certain things can be better. Like dance. I am good at classical, but I’ve been meaning to learn more Western forms such as salsa,” says the chirpy actress from Mumbai, who is now quite fluent in both Tamil and Telugu.
She initially found both languages a bit difficult to handle, but “the language becomes more flexible with practice,” she says.
“My very first film was Teja’s Jayam in Telugu. I signed it by sheer chance. I have no filmi background and landed that role when the coordinator saw me. The film was a huge hit, and I became a part of the industry,” she recalls.
And, Sada is modest to a fault. Is it because she is far removed, geographically, from the very places where she is popular? “But, tell me, am I really popular?” she asks.
After Click, is it going to be destination Bollywood? “Well, I am most comfortable in Hindi, because I grew up in Mumbai. Luckily, I have never had to go about looking for work. Now, people from the North are approaching me. So, why not?” she remarks.
