Nimika Ratnakar: I had mixed reactions when I heard the title Virgin

Nimika Ratnakar has joined the sets of Krishna-starrer Virgin, which also stars Milana Nagaraj. The bold title of the film, which marks the directorial debut of B Naidu, has turned a lot of heads. 

In a candid chat, Nimika admits she had mixed reactions when she first heard the title. “My first thought on hearing the title was whether it was an adult film,” she says. However, when she heard the script the film came across as a cute love story. 

The actor, who is working on her first full-fledged romantic drama, believes titles play an important role in getting the attention of the audience.

Nimika is juggling between this ongoing project and Prajwal Devaraj’s yet-to-be-titled film, which is directed by Ramnarayan. “I feel I am in a good space with some interesting projects coming my way,” says Nimika, who is also looking forward to completing the shoot for Ravi Chandra and Master, both directed by Om Prakash Rao.

The model-turned-actor has another reason to be excited. She holds the title of Miss India Super Talent 2017, Seoul, and was recently featured in an international magazine. “I’ve walked the ramp for international shows. But now, I have started focusing on films. This fashion photoshoot for an international magazine marks my second entry into modelling,” says Nimika.
