Television anchor and actress Anasuya Bharadwaj, who is finally making her cinematic debut with a yet-untitled Telugu thriller, says had it not been the support of her husband, she would not have entered films.

"I'm lucky to have a very understanding husband. Had he not backed me, I wouldn't have entered films. He encouraged my decision to act," Anasuya told IANS.

"I'm really looking forward to my film because the character is so different from the several offers I've received so far," she said.

She has landed an important role in the film, which also stars Adivi Sesh. The shooting will start from next year.

"I'm currently undertaking an acting workshop. My director wanted me to get groomed before we start shooting," she added.

Ravikanth Parepu will helm the project, which is expected to go on floors March 2015.
