Mahesh Babu’s heroine opens about de-glam role


Keerthy Suresh, who is sharing the screen with Mahesh Babu in Sarkaru Vaari Paata has opened up about playing a de-glam role in her upcoming Amazon Prime Video original, Saani Kaayidham, which is being dubbed and released in Telugu as Chitti.

“With previously portraying characters that were sweet, charming, and bubbly, Ponni is fresh, raw, and rugged role in this film demanding her to be lean and mean. In terms of prep, I didn’t do anything really. I think the minute I get into those clothes, put that makeup on, and went on the set, stood by the Matador van, watch Arun and Selva Sir I was ready.”

“I had never imagined myself in such an intense film, and thus initially the task seemed daunting. But as the story progressed, it became easy for me to don the character of Ponni, also owing to the easy atmosphere on sets and the freedom to improvise and experiment”. Keerthy said as she spoke about the de-glam role in the film, which is directed by Arun Matheswaran.

About Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Keerthy said she was pumped up as Parasuram approached her with the offer and she adds that working with Mahesh Babu has been a delightful experience for her as an actor and also as a person.
