Tollywood actress and model Priyanka Jawalkar latest photos at SR Kalyana Mandapam movie interview.
Priyanka Jawalkar is hogging all the limelight with two back-to-back releases. She appeared as the female lead in Satyanand starrer ‘Thimmarusu’ and Kiran Abbavaram’s ‘SR Kalyana mandapam’, and the latter is doing well at the box office.
The Telugu-speaking girl first got recognition with ‘Taxiwaala’ (2018), where she was paired opposite Vijay Deverakonda. Nearly a gap of three years, she had two releases in quick succession.
Firstly, how is the response for SR Kalyanamandapam?
I am super happy with the result. The trade has declared that ‘SR Kalyanamandapam’ is the first hit post the second wave of the corona. We had doubts whether the audiences would come to the theaters or not. All our apprehensions were laid down to the rest with the massive response the audience shown.
You had Timmarusu and SR Kalyanamandapam released in no time. How do you feel?
I was very tensed to know that two of my films would release in no time. I was worried whether crowds would come to the theatre or not. But luckily, Timmarusu opened to a very good talk. Now, SR Kalayanamandapam is doing good. So, I have no complaints at all.
But there were comments about your appearance in these two films?
I had already mentioned on the public stage that I had put on weight due to health issues. After the completion of the ‘Thimmarusu’ shoot, I seriously went for weight loss. I am fit now.
Were you hurt by the harsh comments?
Comments, like I was not taking care of my body, pained me a bit. There is no actress other than me who takes care of her physique well. You (journalists) tell me whether I have slimmed or not?
Whose criticism do you take into consideration?
My friends. They are my biggest critics. I also look at positive things in life, not on the negative side.
Why did you take so much of a gap after Taxiwala?
I prefer scripts to big names and other things. I signed films whose stories I liked. Before signing ‘Thimmarusu’ and ‘SR Kalyanamandapam’, I also acted in an anthology drama ‘Gamanam’. It was a small role, but the movie is solid. Due to COVID and other reasons, the gap seems long.
You have lost a lot of weight. Tell us about it?
I have worked a lot to reduce my weight. I took the comments to my heart and wanted to attain a perfect figure. As it is a visual medium, one needs to look good as well. Now, things are good and I have no complaints.
What are your next films?
Some are in the pipeline. Roles on OTT platforms have also been offered. and auditions for a couple of other projects are going on. I will announce my plate shortly.
