About the outcome of Romantic?
I am super happy with the way Romantic was received by the audience. My role and performance were appreciated and what can I ask more for. In fact, it is because of Romantic I was offered Lakshya.
‘Romantic’ and ‘Lakshya’ belong to two different genres. I am very happy with how ‘Romantic’ was received by the audience. It was the last day of ‘Romantic’ shoot when ‘Lakshya’ came my way. Director Santosh Jagarlapudi wanted to have a word with me. I was excited to listen to the story. ‘Romantic’ had me in a glamorous role. In ‘Lakshya’, it’s a girl-next-door character. The characterization is different, her approach to love life is different from how Monika behaved in ‘Romantic’. ‘Lakshya’ gave me an opportunity to show variation in acting.
Tell us about your role in Lakshya?
I play a morally righteous person named Ritika, who follows her heart. I play Naga Shourya’s girlfriend who supports him through thick and thin in the film. The moment I heard the story, I okayed the film right away. This film has given me a chance to showcase my acting prowess.
‘Lakshya’ is not a biopic. It is an emotional film revolving around archery, the sport. He has got a bun, 8-pack-abs in the movie. His acting is so good. My character is performance-oriented as well. It’s a very fulfilling movie.
Working with the likes of Naga Shourya?
Naga Shourya is a thorough professional and helped me a lot during the filming. He helped me with the lines and educated me about the various camera angles and how I should respond. He has a strong role and will impress one and all.
I got to learn a lot from Naga Shaurya, who is very experienced. I would take time to learn some lines. He would give me insights into editing and camera angles. He is a dedicated actor working with whom was an inspiring journey.
Working with director Santosh?
Director Santossh sir is a very confident filmmaker. He has got a lot of clarity. This is just his second outing. He has everything figured out in his head. He has an animated way of narrating things. He would show me the whole scene in detail. I had to understand the character in my own way in my head. Actors as good as Jagapathi Babu garu, comedian Satya and others are there to walk away with the scene. So, I had to give my best. This is his second film and has done a superb job. He gave me a lot of freedom to perform the scenes in my own manner. The film is high on drama and goes through a roller coaster of emotions that will be loved by one and all.
How is Tollywood treating you?
I am super thrilled with the way the fans and Telugu audience have welcomed me here. I want to do more films here and am game for all kinds of roles and I feel that the best is yet to come.
Future projects?
I am busy with the shooting of my third film with Vaishnav Tej. The film is nearing its completion soon and I have a beautiful role in this film. I would love to act in every language. In Tamil, films are more performance-oriented. My acting career has just begun. I always knew that acting is the only thing I wanted to do in my life. I didn’t know how it will happen. Once I moved to Mumbai, I started giving auditions. The universe responds to what you want to do. My parents are doctors. They gave me one year to achieve my dream. Thankfully, Puri Jagannadh sir gave me ‘Romantic’!
