“Family Star”. The actress reflects on how she has risen through the ranks in the Telugu industry by choosing heartfelt stories over BO fads
She believes in the power of storytelling she is having quite a run down south. After enjoying two hits in 2022 released film Sita Ramam and 2023 released Hi Nanna, the actress is now gearing up for her third release, “Family Star”
When asked how she feels rising through the ranks in the Telugu film industry, she reveals that it has opened her up as an actress adding that working in the south film industry has broadened her horizons as an actress and made her realise that while cinema is a global art form, there are nuances specific to different regions.
She further adds that what stands out in southern films is the meticulous attention to character development. Each character is carefully crafted with a defined arc, both on paper and on screen. The shoot times are longer, allowing for a deeper exploration of details, which she finds fascinating for her own acting process.
Interestingly, the actress has found her footing in the Telugu movie industry with films that were at odds with box-office trends. At a time when the south film industry has been doling out action entertainers, from the Pushpa franchise to Salaar: Part 1—Ceasefire (2023), both Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna came as a breath of fresh air. For her, it has always been about quality over quantity. She takes her time to choose scripts, and goes with what she feels about a story.
Her love for romantic stories has now led her to the Deverakonda-starrer. She couldn’t be happier about teaming up with the Arjun Reddy actor and director Parasuram. She further articulates that Vijay embodies simplicity and humility. Having known him for some time, she can attest to his gentle demeanour. Plus, he possesses an arresting screen presence.
It has been a privilege to not only share the screen with prominent actors, but also collaborate with some significant talents behind the camera.
