Priya Bhavani Shankar has always been selective about the roles she takes up, and her latest conversation with Gulte Pro’s Ram Venkat Srikar ahead of Irumudi’s release gives an interesting glimpse into her approach towards cinema. The actress opened up about choosing characters that actually have something meaningful to contribute.
One of the key points from the conversation is Priya’s take on the typical flower pot roles offered to actresses. She made it clear that she does not want to be part of films merely for screen presence, songs or glamour, and prefers characters that have relevance to the story.
Priya also spoke extensively about Irumudi and how the film’s rooted setting adds another layer to the storytelling. According to her, the geography and culture are not just backdrops in the film but an important part of the narrative and the characters.
The actress recalled shooting in remote locations with limited network connectivity. Rather than seeing it as a difficulty, Priya described the experience as something that helped the cast and crew stay connected with each other and completely immerse themselves in the world of the film.
She also had interesting things to say about director Shiva Nirvana and his working style. Priya appreciated the director’s ego free approach and willingness to listen to actors, making the creative process much more collaborative on the sets.
Priya was also pleasantly surprised by Ravi Teja’s performance. She revealed how his grounded and rooted portrayal challenged some of her initial perceptions about the star, especially when compared to the larger than life image associated with him.
From flower pot roles to meaningful characters, rooted cinema and her experience working on Irumudi, Priya’s conversation offers plenty of interesting insights into how an actress looks at her career. For anyone curious about what goes behind an actor’s choice of roles, this conversation with Gulte Pro is definitely worth watching.
