Her first role in a Telugu film is Janhvi Kapoor's ode to her mother Sridevi
Q. Is this the right time to venture into the film industry of the South?
I think it was destined. I have always wanted to work in the Telugu film industry. Bollywood films and those made in the South have always had this mutually nurturing relationship. With OTT platforms, the popularity of films made in southern languages has increased even more. I am lucky I got the perfect opportunity in Devara. Telugu cinema is where my mom started her career. I would consider myself blessed if I can get even a fraction of the love she received. I do hope this film and my work in it will make Amma happy!
