Jothe Jotheyalli introduced me to Kannada telly audience: Pruthvi Ambaar

Pruthvi Ambaar, who is basking in the success of his movie, is also a familiar face to the telly audience. Although he has been in the industry for a few years now, the actor rose to fame with his performance in his latest flick.
However, his guest appearance in the daily soap 'Jothe jotheyalli' has been critically acclaimed, too.
In a candid chat with ETimes TV, the latest heartthrob of Kannada entertainment industry, Pruthvi Ambaar speaks about his working experience for Jothe Jotheyalli.
"I have been in the industry for almost six years now but luck didn't favor me. It is only after Dia and Jothe Jotheyalli I got a break. I have always waited to earn this kind of fame for a very long time now. Despite giving my cent percent in all my works, I used to feel very disappointed with myself for not being recognized by the viewers," avers the actor.
Pruthvi played the role of a legal advisor to Aryavardhan (Anirudh Jatkar) in the daily soap 'Jothe Jotheyalli'.
"Jothe jotheyalli came in my way much before the release of Dia. I had not accepted any projects as I felt that I would get better projects after the release. But when I was offered a role for Jothe Jotheyalli, I felt I should take up this project. The makers told me that it was a cameo role which would be only for fifty episodes. Moreover, it is one of the top-rated serials in Kannada television and consists of a strong cast and crew," he shares.
However, the actor mentions that he had his own doubts to accept the project as he wanted to concentrate more on films.
"I am very bad at decision making. I consulted many people before accepting Jothe Jotheyalli. But I strongly felt I should take up this project and signed up for it as it was a cameo,” says Pruthvi.
"My well wishers used to call me and often ask me the reason for signing the show. Eventually, this led me to a dilemma. I had a million thoughts. But then, my happiness knew no limits looking at the reception I got from the viewers. I got good reviews for my performance as Neel and happy that it is well scripted, too," he adds.
To meet the needs of his character, the actor had to concentrate more on his looks as he played the role of a legal advisor 'Neel'.
"My character Neel is a very tidy person in the show. I was asked to sport a formal look and the worst part was my hairstyle. My hair is messy most of the time and I like to leave it just like that. I used to spend more than one hour setting my hair right,” mentioned the actor.
Needless to say, as per the latest storyline, Pruthvi's character in the show has been concluded. The actor gets emotional as he speaks his heart out about bidding adieu to the show.
"The three months I spent shooting for Jothe Jotheyalli shall always remain close to my heart. I got a very good farewell from the team when my character Neel concluded its journey in the show. The team gave me a grand send off by making me cut a cake on the sets," recollects the actor.
He further takes a stroll down the memory lane and shares his experience about working for Jothe Jotheyalli.
"The best part in Jothe Jotheyalli is the nature of work on the sets. I was indeed mesmerised upon witnessing the dedication level of every member who works in the show. The actors would literally live their on-screen characters and loved it to the fullest. Everyone knew the value of their character and enjoyed it,” the actor shares.
Pruthvi concludes by making an interesting comment, "I believe every character needs to be treated in it's own way. Jothe Jotheyalli is one serial that has introduced me to the Kannada audience and I am very happy with it. I feel grateful as the show and movie have given me good recognition. What more can I ask for," signs out the actor.
