B-Town Actress Amy Jackson goes to Tollywood

In a candid interview, actress Amy Jackson talks about Prateik, her failed Bollywood debut, and how there would be no compromises as far as her career is concerned. Over to Amy...

Do you think it is easier for foreign actresses to establish themselves here today?
It's hard to say because I never imagined I would be an actress. Vijay, the director of my Tamil film found me. I made my debut in Kollywood and that proved to be a commercial success. Ek Deewana Tha marked my Bollywood debut. I guess this shows that it is not only the film industry, but also the people who are more accepting today.
Talking about romance, when and how did you meet Prateik first?
I met him two years ago, at director Gautham Menon's house. We were discussing the film and we were not awkward or uncomfortable. I guess we just hit it off immediately.

And when did you realise that you were in love?
Hey, I am not sure whether I have actually been in love. I am still waiting for my Prince Charming.

Isn't Prateik your Prince Charming?
He is my 'Prince Charming' in the film. I consider Prateik as one of my best friends. But romantically, I have not found anybody yet.

People are under the impression that the two of you are living in...
That is not true at all! During the time we were promoting our film, it was not just Prateik, but members of the entire unit used to hang out at my place. I have no idea where this rumour cropped up from.

What other films do you have on hand?
I will be making my debut in Tollywood alongside Ram Charan. We begin shoot by the end of this month. There's also another Tamil flick with Vikram. There are couple of other projects too, but it is too early to talk about them now.

Are you ambitious?
Very! If I want something, I would definitely go for it no matter what. I wouldn't mind sacrificing anything to achieve my goal. TNN
