I've only now realised how tough it is to act: Karthik
A consummate professional in filmmaking and distribution,
Karthik Gowda
admits that off late, he's also been slowly inching towards a desire to act too. 'In fact, I was asked to play Gundu Rao's role in the Kannada film
Head Bush
, but I wasn't ready then. But after I starred in the promo for the film Vidyapati, I got a lot of appreciation.
In fact, music composer and singer Vasuki Vaibhav remarked in a recent conversation that I have it in me to act and should consider it. Perhaps that got me thinking, and when I was asked to play a part in Rohit Padaki's Ekka, I was comfortable with the idea,' says Karthik, who essays the part of a lawyer in the film.
Crediting the film's team for their immense patience as he faced the camera for his first full-fledged role, Karthik says, 'Even though movies are an everyday affair for me, to keep in mind all those angles, lights and dialogues when you look at the camera is a different ball game. My respect for actors who this on a daily basis has gone up manifold.'
