Kannada actor and filmmaker Upendra has opened up about his distinctive style and why he chooses not to follow trends in cinema. Known for his unconventional storytelling, he said he is proud to be different and has no intention of copying anyone, no matter how big or successful they are.
Speaking about his journey, Upendra shared that he has always believed in creating his own path. He said that many people compare him to other famous actors and directors, but he prefers to stay original. “I have my own way of filmmaking and acting. That is my identity. I don’t want to follow others,” he said.
Upendra also reflected on his earlier movies, where he not only acted but also wrote and directed. He said taking on multiple roles was challenging but also rewarding. According to him, those films were bold experiments that proved his creativity and individuality.
He explained his style using a simple example: “You can compare me to a mango, but I am not like every other mango. I am a different variety.” With this, he meant that while people might try to classify him, his style remains one of a kind.
Despite new trends in the film industry, Upendra believes that every artist should have their own voice. He said he respects other filmmakers and their success but does not want to copy their formulas. Instead, he prefers to stick to his own ideas, even if they are risky or unusual.
Discussing his current work, he hinted that his new film will also reflect his unique style. He described it as something different and thought-provoking, just like many of his previous films.
Fans have always admired Upendra for his originality and fearless approach to cinema. His latest comments show that he intends to continue surprising audiences with fresh and creative ideas, while staying true to his personality.
