Shruthi said that every film is special, but this character is very meaningful. ‘When I heard the story from the director, I found it very interesting. They had a strong desire to do something new. The director told me he would ensure that my 175th film remains memorable in my career. I told him, not only me, but to make sure the producers are also happy and successful. The reason I continue to get work in the industry is because of producers’ said Shruthi.
The actress disclosed that she never attended a workshop in a career spanning four decades. ‘In all these years, I had never attended a workshop for any film, but for this project I specifically requested one because there are a lot of newcomers in this film. So, it is very necessary to do a workshop which would help everyone’ said Shruthi.
