We are yet to see Tanya Hope on the silver screen, but this upcoming heroine already has a lot of offers on her plate. She is occupied with various projects, and the actor says she has been able to learn a lot in the process. As she awaits the release of Home Minister with Upendra, she is equally excited about her next, Darshan-starrer Yajamana, in which she also shares screen space with Rashmika Mandanna. 

Meanwhile, Tanya, who is back from Madikeri after wrapping up the shoot of Sunil Kumar Desai’s Udhgarsha, is now packing her bags for Switzerland. The actor will be in the Alps for the next two weeks from November 2, shooting for Nagashekar-directed Amar, which has her paired opposite Abhishek. “After the shoot in Switzerland, I will have two more weeks of shooting left. Hopefully, by mid-December, we will wrap up Amar,” says Tanya, who is happy to kick-start her career on a good note. 

“I heard from the director that Ambareesh sir has watched the first half of Amar, and he was really happy with the outcome. We will be shooting the second half in a foreign locale, and a few portions in Bengaluru.” 

About working with Sunil Kumar Desai for Udhgarsha, Tanya says it was a wonderful experience to be working with the veteran director. “I had the best work relationship with him; it’s like a teacher and a student. He would shout at me at times, but I felt like it was a classroom. This way, I was also able to learn,” she says.

Meanwhile, she is also participating in the promotions for her Tamil film, Thadam, with Arun Vijay, which is slated for release in November. Tanya, who has a tight schedule with her different projects, says it is a bit overwhelming. “I am really happy to have this kind of work in the early stages of my career. Having said that, I’m still nervous when I am in the midst of a crowd,” she admits and adds that she is working towards getting over her anxiety.
