B-town doesn't interest Deeksha Seth

B-town doesn't interest Deeksha Seth
She may have debuted in Tamil and Telugu films about a year ago, but Deeksha Seth is steadily becoming one of the hottest properties in the south film industries.
With top production houses and directors looking at signing this pretty lass in their next, Deeksha is quite excited.
Ask her how she feels about being tagged as the hot new babe in the south and she bursts into laughter.

'They've probably not seen me in my pyjamas. All credit goes to my makeup artist and stylist,' she says.
Jokes apart, Deeksha is flattered by the comments. 'When people say that I am in demand, it is a big compliment indeed. But I don't take these tags too seriously. I am glad that my work is appreciated,' says Deeksha.
The actor is currently shuttling between three Telugu projects ' Rebel with Prabhas, Nippu with Ravi Teja, Uu Kodathara? Ulikki Padathara? opposite Manoj Manchu ' and the Tamil film Vettai Mannan with Simbu.
'I get to play different characters in all these films. However, playing an athlete in Nippu has been pretty tough as a certain level of fitness is required to play the part. I am also looking forward to Rebel's release this summer. We still haven't shot the songs and I am dreading that as the songs will be choreographed by
Lawrence Raghavendra (also the director of the film),' she says.
Though Deeksha is upset about the failure of her Tamil debut Rajapattai opposite Vikram, she hopes that her second film will be a success. 'It is upsetting when you know that your film hasn't done well. But I am happy to have worked with Vikram in my debut film. I am sure that my second film will provide me a better platform to showcase my acting prowess in Kollywood,' says Deeksha.
With several of her contemporaries signing on projects in Bollywood, is she looking at taking the plunge too? She says, 'I am not inclined to work in Bollywood and am not actively looking for projects there. I am happy working in the Tamil and Telugu film industries and currently my kitty is full. I don't take up movies for the sake of having work.'
