Kumkuma Bagya Telugu Daily Serial – E831 – 24th Aug

Kannada actor Tarak Ponnappa is making his mark in Tollywood. With three Telugu films already out and projects like Devara, Pushpa 2, and an untitled one in the pipeline, his presence is growing steadily.

He attributes the rise of pan-Indian films to the opportunities they offer regional actors, creating a diverse onscreen presence.

Tarak has even quit his Kannada show to focus on Telugu projects. “Currently, my priority is to continue working in Telugu cinema where I’m receiving promising opportunities,” he says. He believes success will open doors to new ventures and allow him to diversify the roles he portrays.

In his next film, Pushpa 2, Tarak will play a villain. The role required a makeover and even a fight sequence with Allu Arjun.

“Since I’m not highly experienced in performing stunts, he provided guidance on body positioning to enhance the menacing look on screen,” he says, impressed by Allu Arjun’s knowledge of stunts and dance.
