In her 25-year career, Isha Koppikar Narang has been a part of films in varied languages and genres, but there is one role on her check list she has had to wait to tick off—playing an action heroine. With her upcoming Tamil sci-fi film, Ayalaan, also starring Siva Karthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh, the actor has fulfilled her wish. “I always wanted to be an action heroine. Ayalaan is an action-packed role, where I am playing the antagonist,” says Koppikar of the R Ravikumar directorial venture.
For Koppikar, who began her acting career in the South three years before she made her Bollywood debut in the Hrithik Roshan-starrer Fiza (2000), it’s only heartening to see that films in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada are finally getting their due. “South [films are] carving a niche for themselves. It has been long overdue. I have always appreciated their craftsmanship and discipline. Of course, after Baahubali, KGF, and Kantara [garnering pan-India recognition], it’s there for the world to see. People have started accepting south films without them being remade in Hindi. They are just dubbed,” she says.
