While Regina Cassandra kicked off 2017 with the highly acclaimed Tamil thriller Maanagaram , in 2018, she proved her acting mettle with the Telugu film Awe , which marked her first release of that year. Her second film of the year, Mr Chandramouli hit the screens on Friday (6 July). The actress made her Bollywood debut with the 2019 Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga .
She was also seen in Farzi and performed this year at the IIFA Awards 2024. In an interview with Firstpost, she spoke about her dance performance and her earliest memories of the ceremony. Edited excerpts from the interview How was your performance at IIFA? I’m very critical.
I mean something I’d knock off, but it still doesn’t takes hard work. We only did one tech rehearsal with the Nagadha. The Nagadha was supposed to come down at a certain time and did not come down so I missed eight counts of my dance.
We anyway worked around it but it started with that and I enjoyed my performance, like I gave it my all, I did miss a few steps here. Matthew came to me and said ‘Don’t worry.’ I’ve done many shows with them before and they always give me the encouragement that I need and in the middle of the dances, they’ll shout and boost you up and I mean it was a really hard performance.
In fact, like I think mine out of the lot was a very heavy performance. It had a lot of jumping. I didn’t have any breather in between my tracks.
It was a bit of a challenge, a good challenge in a way. And by the end of the.
