Pawan Kalyan-Sai Dharam Tej’s Bro, written and directed by Samuthirakani. Trivikram pens the screenplay, dialogues for the film that hits screens on July 28. The film stars Ketika Sharma and Priya Prakash varrier in key roles. Today the wink girl Priya Prakash interacted with media about the film.
She said 'BRO' is a remake of 'Vinodhaya Sitham' (Tamil), which I watched even before this film came my way. More than a year ago, I attended a look-test session. I didn't get back any call for months after that. I jumped the gun and concluded that I was not selected. I then received a call earlier this year.
She added "Director Samuthirakani sir had considered a lot of girls before me for the role. It makes me happy that he felt I suit the role the most. Since he is an artist himself, he knows what he wants from his actors. It was amazing to work with him. It was certainly a really nice experience."
Talking about sharing screen space with Pawan kalyan, she said "He is a legend like and it was a great experience. There is this aura that he brings to set. When he walks into the set, there is a certain magic."
Talking about changes in script and her role she said "Changes have been made to the original in accordance with PK sir's image. There is a new imagination. The film is longer than its original counterpart. The duration of my role is something I can't talk about now. But you will find me throughout the film now and then".
She said "I have combination scenes with PK sir and Sai Dharam Tej. I played a simple, homely girl in the movie. I don't have the liberty to speak more about the role. Meena is the name of my character. This is a family film where everyone has scenes with everyone else."
Talking about interaction with Pawan Kalyan on sets, she said "I couldn't get to interact with PK sir much. I can't talk about my chemistry with Tej because that would be tricky (considering spoilers will be out). Tej was fun to be with. Whenever we were on set, we used to pull each other's legs. He was always a naughty child on set. Rohini ma'am, Ketika Sharma and a lot of us had the opportunity to bond with each other."
About People Media Factory, she said "It is the first big banner I have got to work with. They have been extremely supportive. They are always considerate and always accommodative."
Talking about background and her missteps in movies, she said "I come from a family with absolutely no film background. The viral wink video in 2018 changed everything for me. People are familiar with me only because of that viral wink video. I don't think that video is a baggage in any manner. After that video, people started saying too many things."
She added "I got confused and made some missteps. I am now in a position to make the right moves on the career front. I have been associated with brands, thanks to my social media popularity. My childhood dream was to become an actor. I am working towards that."
Talking about her upcoming projects, she said "I have two Hindi films coming up. I am listening to scripts in Malayalam. In Tamil, I am yet to do my maiden venture."
