Updated : Nov 15, 2023
In 'Kota Bommali PS,' Shivani Rajashekar takes on the role of a constable, seeking guidance from her father, Dr. Rajashekar, known for his cop portrayals. She refrained from watching the original Malayalam film 'Nayattu' to avoid influence, aiming to bring a fresh perspective to her character, echoing her father's advice of immersive, spontaneous acting.
Shivani Rajashekar praises Srikanth's friendly nature on the set of 'Kota Bommali PS,' sharing lessons learned alongside Rahul Vijay. Ready for the tough shoot, she embraced her role as a tribal girl without makeup, growing more confident with the Srikakulam dialect and the film's approach as shooting progressed.
Shivani says she's thrilled to be part of the viral song 'Lingi Lingi Lingidi' with over 30 million views, attributing its success to composer Midhun. She highlights how the song significantly elevated their movie's popularity and acknowledges the evolving trend in Telugu cinema, where actors are increasingly valued for their performances beyond traditional 'hero' or 'heroine' roles.
