Actress Sriya Reddy is overwhelmed by the response the political web series 바카라˜Thalamai Seyalagam바카라™ is receiving, especially for her role in the show as the right hand of the Chief Minister.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, the 바카라˜Salaar바카라™ actress said she always believes in roles where she can put her heart and soul, especially the complex characters.
Excerpts from the interview:
IANS: You delivered another strong performance in 'Thalamai Seyalagam'. What have you to say about it?
Sriya: I am so overwhelmed by the response which the 'Thalamai Seyalagam' has received. Whenever any project is under the able hands of Vasanthabalan sir it is bound to receive a good response. There are very few directors where you just don바카라™t have to do much. You have to come, stand and let your eyes do the talking. This is how it was with Vasanthabalan sir.
IANS: How is the public response to your character in 'Thalamai Seyalagam'?
Sriya: The audience response has been a mixed one. In terms of my performance, they say where have you been and why don바카라™t you do more projects. The kind of reviews that are coming in are phenomenal. I am so grateful and overwhelmed. A lot of people have told me that I resemble Smita Patil which is the biggest compliment because she has been somebody I have always looked upto and I am so happy at the positive reviews.
IANS: You have often portrayed strong characters on screen, how do you select your roles?
Sriya: I always believe in a role where I can put my heart and soul and where the story talks to me. I have always believed that it has to be complex and must have a lot of layers because a very linear character gets a little boring. So the more complex and more layered it is the more excited I get.
IANS: How do you prepare for your roles?
Sriya: The way I prepare for my roles is quite extensive. For Saalar, I used to wake up at 3 in the morning, learning my dialogue and workouts were very very important to get ready for the particular role. I also watched Heath Ledger's 'Joker' over and over again. I took a lot of points from his performance. Even for this web series, there is a certain amount of work that went into it. I read the script ten to fifteen times, the entire script. I prepared for my dialogues almost six months ahead of the shooting. I was fully prepared. The dialogues were just mere words that were naturally coming to me. I was fully confident and prepared for the shoot.
IANS: When is Salaar 2 expected?
Sriya: I really don바카라™t know. The only man who can answer that question is Prashanth Neel. But whenever it comes, it will be a big bang with real drama and story.
IANS: Which is your next project? Any update on OG?
Sriya: OG will be my next release in Telugu. I am excited about this project. I think it is a mix of everything which I want in a character. Also, I have worked with such amazing people for this project. The remaining part of the movie will be shot in the next few months. I think that the movie will be released in the next five to six months or earlier than that.
