About Acting (Film & Television)

Who I Am

Naanu nimma Gopi, people know me as Mimicry Gopi. Acting's not just my bread and butter - it's really what I love doing. For me, film and television is all about connecting with the janate (people) and making you laugh or think, sometimes both at once.

Film Journey

• Been lucky to work in Kannada films - you might spot me in 'Room No. 111' playing a cop, or as a swamiji in 'Bhageera' next to Prakash Raj sir.
• I keep trying out different versatile character roles, sometimes small, sometimes big, but always something new.
• Latest was 'Rangasamudra' - feels good to see my work get noticed.

On TV

• Regular face on Kannada comedy television performances like 'Maja Talkies'. I love the madness and energy of those sets.
• Got painted head-to-toe as an Avatar character on 'Hoo Antiya, Huhoo Antiya' - chindi fun (super fun).
• On 'Dance Karnataka Dance', I get to mix my mimicry skills in acting with dance - paid tribute to Ambareesh sir and Shankar Nag, which is close to my heart.
• Supporting roles in serials like 'Gouripurada Gayyaligalu' and my swamiji character keep me busy and happy.

What I Give

• I go all in, whether it's simple makeup or getting into a totally different look.
• Comedy is my base - if I can make you smile, my job is done.
• I know the drill on set, worked with Zee Kannada, Star Suvarna, Colors Kannada - always try to be easy to work with.
