Dia has put Kushee in the spotlight. The actor, who played the titular role in KS Ashoka’s directorial has received unanimous appreciation from both the theatre and OTT audience for her performance in the film. Kushee admits that Dia had an impact on her social media presence as well. “I was not active on social media until a couple of days ago when I opened an Instagram account. To my surprises, I was flooded with at least 30,000 followers in just a matter of two days. I am receiving an overwhelming response to my role by people from Karnataka and across the globe. All this recognition feels like a dream,” says Kushee, adding that life after Dia has been very different for her. “I want to thank director Ashoka and producer Krishna Chaitanya for a giving a whole new meaning to my film career,” she says.

Kushee has already chosen her next after listening to  5-6 stories. “Nakshe will be my next project, and an official announcement about this will be made on the auspicious day of Ugadi,” she says. The film marks the directorial debut of Madhu. It is produced by Shivaprakash. It has Poornachandra Tejaswi composing the music while Mahesh is handling the camera. The suspense thriller also stars Archana Jois, Pramod Shetty and Suman Nagarkar.

Kushee says that Dia has made her more responsible about her script choices. "Dia was appreciated mainly because of its making, and it’s something I look forward in the project I want to be a part of. Nakshe is a women-centric subject and the director’s narration was brilliant. Once the city and people’s life is back to normal, we'll be able to fix a date for the launch."
