Thai actress Chatcha to debut in Tollywood

Chatcha Patumthip is the latest import to test the waters in T-Town. Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, the actress has played one of the lead roles in Nagesh Naradasi���s Boom Boom.
���I never thought that I would act in a Telugu film and it came as a big surprise when Nagesh showed interest to cast me as one of the lead characters,��� Chatcha says, adding that she has been working in the Thai film industry for the past 10 years.���I graduated with a degree in architecture; however, I am extremely passionate about films and I really want to direct one in future. In the meantime, I wanted to act and work behind the scenes to gain experience and so, I began acting in films when I turned 19. Since I attend plenty of auditions, several casting directors had my portfolio and that���s how Nagesh spotted me,��� she shares.
Chatcha reveals that she���s playing the role of a Thai girl,whose life goes through a dramatic change when a Telugu boy falls in love with her. ���Thing is, these two characters don���t speak the same language and that was the fun part of the role. I could relate a lot to it because I can���t understand a word of Telugu. My co-star, Bharat helped me a lot and Nagesh taught me how to act in Indian style,��� Chatcha says.
Ask her what the major difference between Indian style and Thai style is and she says, ���I have been a part of few international films which were shot in Thailand and learnt the nuances of acting.When it comes to Indian style, there���s a lot more emphasis on facial expressions and body language. It���s difficult to adapt myself to it instantly, and honestly, I don���t know if I have done a good job (laughs). But the most interesting part was dancing to a Telugu song. It turned out to be more difficult than what it seemed in the beginning. Finally, the choreographer understood my problem and changed the dance moves (laughs). I���m curious to see how people react to my role in the film.���
