Be it short-format or long-format, what matters to me is how I am able to deliver the content to my audience. My personality is such that I am ready to do any kind of work. Work is work. I started doing South films a long time ago. I am very proud of doing South films.

She further said, I have done Bollywood and South films. I like films as a medium, be it in long or short format, but I am excited about this and have been waiting for a long time.

I think it is great for viewers like me and my kids who are interested in sports.

Genelia said, I think you have the opportunity to dream and work hard. Dreaming is one part of it, but going out there and making it to the international stage is something that India has been doing very well for many years now.
