Sameera's fresh tryst with acting

There may be countless moments filled with stress, will breaking incidents and phases of insecurity but the one thing the professional actors are blessed with is the chance to be someone else for a prolonged period of time.
It can never be said that this getting inside the skin of a particular character will always be a delightful experience, but at least sometimes it can act as a tool to get transformed and get inside the psyche of a fictional character who lives in a totally different atmosphere under different circumstances and thus get a great change from the regular life routines.
Even though she is an experienced actress Sameera Reddy went through an exceptional time as she shot for the film 'Yeh Hausla' at a remote place situated at the outskirts of Jodhpur in Rajastan.
In the movie directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, Sameera plays a simple village woman and the dusky beauty felt a strange king of bonding with her role which only intensified as the shooting days progressed.
It was John Abraham who advised Sameera not to let go this role and John upon knowing the nature of the role told her that completing the whole shooting at a single stretch is the best way to do justice to the character.
So Sameera did not take a single break and remained in Rajasthan for the schedule of 47 days.
Sameera says "Nagesh has taught me so much. I have connected with emotions within myself that I never knew existed. I felt I have gone to acting school. It was a different world without the trappings of urban life. I felt I had gone back to basics. I was in a ghagra-choli walking bare feet in the mud and these peacocks would accompany me everywhere. I have never been so close to nature before. And the thought of flying off to Bangkok for my next film gives me strange feelings of cultural dislocation".
Nagesh Kukunoor offered this meaty role in 'Yeh Hausla' to Sameera after coming to know how after working with the B-Town actress in 'Kaalpurush' and 'Ami, Yasin Ar Amar Madhubala', the veteran film maker Buddhadeb Dasgupta had found her worthy enough to make a comparison with the late acting legend Smitha Patil
