Regina Cassandra calls Bollywood ‘unforgiving’: ‘I’m not the kind of a person who could sell myself for work’

She added, “The kind of films that are being made in the South are more rooted, in the North it’s a lot more urban. When I started wanting to do work in the North, I was told that I would have to live in Mumbai and attend meetings. We don’t do that in the South. You network but it’s not like you meet people. There is no concept of a casting agent in the South, it’s just managers and PROs. Talent management agencies have now infiltrated the South markets. It’s a lot more of a competition when it comes to Hindi. For me, I am not the kind of a person who could sell myself for work. I can’t go lobbying for something. But then I realised that if I don’t do this, I wouldn’t get that.”

She also said, “I understood that it was needed of me to do that, but it’s not how I would operate. A lot of people told me I was not aggressive enough like my other competitors and I made peace with it. For me, it was not about being easy or difficult. It just felt very forced. Everything in my life needs to be organic, otherwise I wouldn’t understand its importance. Now, I have a team who lobbies for me and I come down to just audition, and I am very happy with them.”

On the work front, Regina will be next seen in Vidaamuyarchi which also stars Ajith. She will also be a part of Gopichand Malineni’s Jaat, which stars Sunny Deol in the lead role. She will also be a part of Section 108, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
