Speaking about working across mediums and languages Mandira said, “Identity is one project that had me the first time I heard the script. I knew that this was something I had never done before and for me it’s not the medium or the language but what grips me the first time I hear about the role. I’m excited because South films today have such huge viewership and no long are they only for a certain market, they are watched globally and hence as actors we are getting a larger audience.”
