Kotigobba 3 is actress Abhirami’s comeback film in Kannada.

“So, it’s best enjoyed on the big screen, with the whistles and popcorn,” says the entertainer. Abhimrami is glad the film is prepared to hit the screens this Dasara. “I am excited, but I urge people to be careful.

The movie, directed by Shivakarthik, has Kiccha Sudeep in the lead role, and Abhirami’s person is fundamental to the film.“My character is a part of the flashback that explains why the two main leads, played by Sudeep, are the way they are. It gives you a back story and a context to the characters of the protagonists,” says Abhirami, declining to uncover much else as they could wind up being spoilers.

Talking about the jobs she gets, Abhirami clarifies, “For some reason, people think of me as a lawyer or a cop, a very bold and furious woman. This is flattering because it is unusual to see that. There is something about me that makes me play such roles convincingly. I am happy with that,” she says.

She likewise invites the way that jobs are presently composed for those past their 20s across India. “We do not always have to be a 20-something girl to be somebody important in a movie. Finally, the generational shift has happened even among filmmakers. We see filmmakers in their 20s and 30s writing stories and thinking of telling stories that are relevant to today’s world. I hope more women come to the forefront behind the camera too.”

The entertainer has moved back to Bengaluru in the wake of living in the US for almost twenty years. On adjusting film and routine life, Abhirami says, “In 2013-14, I returned and started transporting to take on certain ventures. I would make a few outings, work on certain projects and afterward return to my normal life in the US.”
