*Tell us about your journey*:
*
I started my career in 2019. Two films I worked on were screened at international film festivals, but unfortunately, they were not released. Later, I also trained in theatre to improve my acting skills. I have really enjoyed this journey of learning acting and being part of films.

*What is your role like in ‘Ameer Log’?*

My character is like the girl next door. She is a woman who can inspire others. My mother has always been my inspiration, and the character in this film also reflects some of her qualities. I learned from my mother to be straightforward and speak my mind without hesitation. My character has the same nature.

*How did you get the opportunity to work in ‘Ameer Log’?*

Our director Ramana garu did not know about my work in ‘Thimmarajupalli TV’. Bashir Master informed us about the auditions for this film. I attended the audition and performed well, following which Ramana garu immediately selected me.

*What kind of compliments have you received from people who have watched ‘Ameer Log’ so far?*

Everyone who has watched ‘Ameer Log’ has spoken about my character. People are appreciating my performance. Even though I have done only one or two films so far, audiences are remembering me. I want to be part of films where my character has importance, which is why I am being very selective about the roles I choose.

*We hear that biryani plays a major role in ‘Ameer Log’. Is that true?*

You can say that biryani itself has an important role in ‘Ameer Log’. That element has been beautifully integrated into the story. I believe the film will connect well with everyone.

*How was your experience working with sync sound?*

I had already worked on a feature film that was shot with sync sound. No matter how professionally we work, sounds from the surroundings also get recorded. So, working with sync sound can be quite challenging on the sets. However, everyone cooperated wonderfully for this film. Even the people living in the basti supported us tremendously. Since it is also the area where Ramana garu’s mother-in-law lives, we received even more support (laughs).

*Do you feel disappointed that only one or two of your films have been released in six years?*

I believe the number of films we have released is not as important as how audiences accept us and what kind of characters we choose. Looking back at my six-year journey, I am satisfied with the roles I have played. Whether the films we work on eventually get released is not entirely in our hands.

*What can you say about the music?*

I would say Smaran garu’s music has taken our film several levels higher. He has given us wonderful music. There were certain emotions that we could not completely express through the visuals, and he conveyed them beautifully through the background score. His music is a very important part of our film.

*Tell us about the lead characters in ‘Ameer Log’.*

Every character in ‘Ameer Log’ has its own importance. Audiences will be able to connect with all the characters. It was a wonderful experience working with Hari, Manoj and Sasi. We had a lot of fun shooting together on the sets.

*How was it working with the technical team?*

Ramana Reddy garu took great care of all of us. He would clearly explain how every scene should look and what he expected from us. We even conducted demo shoots. We shot the film in the area where Madhavi Reddy garu was born and brought up, and the people there took very good care of all of us. Our DOP speaks very little, but his work is exceptional.

*What compliments did the Spirit Media team and other celebrities give after watching the film?*

The Spirit Media team watched our film and appreciated it. VN Aditya garu, who watched our premiere, also praised the film a lot. He said my character was not like a routine role and that it was written in a way that audiences could connect with it. He also appreciated how our performances complemented Ramana garu’s writing.

*Did the language and dialect create any difficulties? Will audiences from all regions understand the film?*

The language and dialect will not be a problem for our film. Emotions are universal, and the same emotions are understood everywhere. I believe our film will appeal to audiences across different sections and regions.
