New Delhi: Actor Dino Morea, who is venturing into the Malayalam film industry with a cameo in Dulquer Salmaan's Solo, says he isn't making a permanent switch.
"I'm not switching from Bollywood to the Malayalam film industry. As an actor, I will work - whether it is in a Malayalam, Telugu or any film," Dino said.
Morea, who has already started shooting for the movie, and says he is not facing any language barrier however.
"I grew up in Bangalore (now Bengaluru), so I used to speak a lot of Tamil. But I haven't spoken it in a long time. I will take some time to get some of the words in Tamil," he added. In Solo, he plays the role of an army officer.
"It's pretty simple to play the role of an army officer. He is an army officer, but more like a General who talks to his subordinates about life, imparting advice on relationships. The story is quite thrilling and fun," Dino said.
