Nikesha Patel: Om 3D is a love triangle

Born and brought up in the United Kingdom, Nikesha Patel got her big ticket to the cine world when she made her debut in Telugu film Komaram Puli co-starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by S J Suryah. The film, however, tanked at the box office.

Subsequently Nikita moved to Chennai and Bengaluru to do Tamil and Kannada films (Narasimha, Dakota Picture and Varadhanayaka).

Now, Nikesha is back to doing a Telugu film, Om 3D, the first action film produced by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram (who’s also the main protagonist) and directed by Sunil Reddy.

In this exclusive chat, Nikesha throws light on Om 3D releasing this Friday, July 19, the shift to Tamil and Kannada films, and her future projects.

After you made your debut in Komaram Puli (2010), you have not acted in a Telugu film for the last few years. Why?

I was busy with Tamil films for which I was getting offers. I was looking to work with a big hero in Telugu after Komaram Puli. Unfortunately, I did not get the right script and the right hero together.
