Pranitha Subhash made her debut with the 2010 Kannada film Porki, a remake of the Telugu blockbuster Pokiri. Despite offers pouring in post the film’s success, the actress then chose to do a Telugu film before finally making her Tamil debut with Udhayan in 2011.
Now, six years later, the actress has managed to build an enviable filmography of 20 films which include both commercial and critical ventures while also bagging a few prestigious awards for her performances. “Nothing was planned. I believe in destiny. When I was approached for Porki, my parents thought that it was a prank call. They even thought someone was trying to kidnap me in the process,” she laughs. “Later, things started falling into place — Udhayan happened in Tamil and then Saguni with Karthi, followed by Masss with Suriya,” she adds.
Pranitha’s next Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal in which she is paired with Jai is all set to hit the screens in February. “I play a character which every girl working in an IT firm can relate to. She is a healthy mix of both urban and girl-next-door traits which is what I loved the most. Also, it boats of a huge star ensemble cast,” says the Bengaluru girl.
The actress is also all praise for her co-star Jai. “He is someone I have always looked up to. Be it his role in Chennai 28 or Engeyum Eppothum, he knows to portray a character subtly and make it relatable,” she adds. Her next movie with Atharvaa, Gemini Ganesanum Surulirajanum, will see her sharing screen space with Regina Cassandra, Aishwarya Rajesh and Aaditi Pohankar. “It is too early to talk about the project. Having said that, it’s an interesting storyline and there will be a lot of positive things to talk about the movie once it goes on floors,” she explains.
She will also be seen in the Kannada film (tentatively titled Leader ) opposite Shiva Rajkumar. How does she pick her films? “As much as it’s an instinctive decision, it’s the script that matters the most and how the filmmaker projects it. I don’t choose films on the basis of language. I don’t want to stick to a certain kind of cinema. I want to experiment with different kinds of roles.”
Apart from the world of glitz and glamour, Pranitha is also a successful entrepreneur and co-owns a restaurant called Bootlegger in Bengaluru. “It has also been rated one of the top 10 restaurants in the city,” she adds. Interestingly, Pranitha comes from a family of doctors. “Though I was studious, I knew I didn’t have the patience to study MBBS. I decided not to become a doctor when I was in Class 10. But my parents never had a problem with that and have been supportive of my decisions ever since. They’re happy that I am giving my 100 per cent to whatever I do now,” she signs off.
