Shivani Rajashekar shares her excitement about her naturalistic role in ‘Kota Bommali PS,’ set to be grandly released by GA 2 Pictures on November 24. Under the direction of Teja Marni and produced by Bunny Vass and Vidya Koppineedi, the film features Shivani in a role that emphasizes performance.
In a recent interview, the young actress delves into the details of the film, co-starring Srikanth, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Rahul Vijay, Murali Sharma, and others. Describing the political survival thriller as soulful, Shivani expresses how each character is treated in a wholesome fashion.
Highlights from Shivani’s interview include her approach to the role, influenced by her father, Dr. Rajashekar, known for his cop roles. She discusses not watching the original Malayalam film ‘Nayattu’ to avoid influence, emphasizing the adaptation’s unique Telugu nativity. Despite the challenging shooting conditions, Shivani embraced her role as a constable, drawing inspiration from her father’s advice to live in the moment and be immersed in the character.
Srikanth, a family friend, is described as a non-domineering senior actor who brings a jovial atmosphere to the set. Director Teja Marni’s warning of challenging shooting conditions did not deter Shivani, who viewed it as part of her artistic commitment.
Shivani reflects on her experience playing a tribal girl in a previous Tamil film, emphasizing her satisfaction with the natural look in ‘Kota Bommali PS,’ where she opted not to use makeup. The Srikakulam slang and the overall work experience were described as enjoyable, contributing to her growing confidence in the film.
The actress expresses gratitude for being part of the viral song ‘Lingi Lingi Lingidi,’ acknowledging composer Midhun for its blockbuster success. She also notes a positive shift in Telugu cinema, where artists are increasingly celebrated for their talent, transcending traditional distinctions of ‘hero’ and ‘heroine.’
