Young Lady Director Eyes Big Break in Tollywood

Manasa Sharma is the latest new director in the tinsel town, trying to test her luck with the film Raakaasaa. The film marks her debut as a director in terms of a theatrical cinema.

Despite not speaking heavily about the film during the promotions, the director is on the spotlight for her introverted and modest nature during public appearances. Telugu cinema rarely witnesses female filmmakers and if Raakaasaa becomes success, it will help Manasa grow big in career.

Ever since the team began promotions and started coming out in public events, Manasa carried the girl next door image and vibe. Her presence and speech during the pre-release event also brought a lot of attention towards her. Interestingly, she also broke silence on how she is enjoying this attention.

Subtly reacting to the newfound attention, Manasa acknowledged all that happening on social media saying, “Telugu Yuvatha chala manchi vallu, Ammailni baga encourage chestharu,” which is currently trending on social media.

Manasa Sharma’s debut with Raakaasaa will be an important test for her career. Tollywood rarely sees female directors stepping into mainstream theatrical films, and a success here could open new doors for her as well as inspire many aspiring filmmakers.

In recent times, a few talented women directors entered the industry with big dreams but faced setbacks after one unsuccessful film. So, Raakaasaa becomes a crucial moment for Manasa. If she manages to impress the audience with this comedy-fantasy thriller, she could quickly become one of the most talked-about new directors in Tollywood.

Manasa Sharma earlier created Oka Chinna Family Story and directed Bench Life for OTT. Niharika Konidela is backing Raakaasaa, starring Sangeeth Sobhan and Nayan Sarika in the lead roles. The film is hitting the screens tomorrow.
