Bollywood Actress Wore 50 kg of Jewellery for Her Tollywood Debut

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is making her Telugu debut with the upcoming film “Jatadhara”, which stars Sudheer Babu as the lead hero and is slated for a worldwide release on November 7. Sonakshi is playing the antagonist in the movie, and she revealed that she had to wear 50 kilograms of jewellery while shooting this film.

Speaking in a recent interview, Sonakshi said that this is one of the most physically challenging roles she has done in her career. It used to take her three hours to get ready and go to the sets. She used to wear a saree and a harness under it. She said that then she had to wear 50 kg of jewellery, which was stitched onto her so that it wouldn’t move during action sequences.

Sonakshi said that it was a painful experience of wearing that jewellery, suspended in the air for half the day. Despite being physically challenging for her, Sonakshi said she managed to pull off the role with ease, thanks to the warm and welcoming people on set. She added that not even a single day passed when they made her feel like an outsider or someone working on her first film in the industry.

Touted to be a mythological mystical thriller, Jatadhara will have a pan-India release this Friday. It is directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal.
