Actress Divya Dutta made her Telugu debut in the OTT series Mayasabha, in which she portrays a strong politician. She intends to work on more South Indian language projects.

Even though starting a project in a foreign language can be intimidating, Divya is glad she took the risk. The actor, who made her Telugu debut with the OTT series Mayasabha, says, "It's always great to expand your horizons and explore something new in a different territory."

Now on the receiving end of appreciation for her role, Divya tells us, “I’d love to have more regional outings; I am hoping more such projects come my way soon. People are saying that it’s a blockbuster and I am flooded with messages.”

The 47-year-old acknowledges that she was initially nervous but clarifies that she quickly felt completely at home, “My character mostly speaks English, but I was able to catch the tone, body language and expression. I’d even mug up lines when needed, and it was manageable.”

However, the sensibilities on set weren’t dependent on whether everyone spoke the same language. “They treated me so well; not once did I feel like I was shooting in the South for the first time,” Divya muses, adding, “I had a lot of liberty to add my own nuances. The writers and makers poured a lot into this project; that’s probably why audiences connect with the story. Even if they show something grand it will be blended with emotions. They shot this OTT series like a feature film and kept it very rooted to their culture and emotions.”
