...says Samyukta Hornad as she talks about her character in her upcoming film with co-star Kiccha Sudeep and directed by Vijay Karthikeyaa

- CE FEATURES

AMYUKTA Hornad was driven by the opportunity to work with her Max co-star Kiccha Sudeep, but she had another reason for accepting a role in the film directed by Vijay Karthikeyaa. In an exclusive conversation with CE, ahead of the film's release on December 25, she says, "It was the emotional depth and unexpected twists in the story that set the film apart from typical mass-market thrillers."

For Samyukta, the experience was about connection, learning, and the joy of working alongside the likes of Sudeep, who bring something truly special to the craft, she says.

According to the makers, the film, produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu's V Creations and Sudeep's Kiccha Creations, has a powerful emotional arc that goes beyond the usual thrills, leading to a satisfying conclusion.

"I was excited to collaborate with Sudeep, whose work I had closely observed during Jigarthanda. I always wanted to work with him, and Max gave me that chance," she shares.
