Despite not being the centre of the film, she is
confident that her character will “make a big impression even if the screen
time is less.” However, she is unwilling to share more details about her role
saying, “Like characters in most Lingusamy’s films, my characterization is
quite spunky and full of life.”
Last year, Sam caused a flutter by stating she wanted
to take a break from Telugu films to concentrate on her Tamil projects. The
move seems to be paying off. “I love the direction in which Tamil cinema is
heading these days. Recently, when I saw Goli Soda, I couldn’t stop raving
about it for a long time. I really like the fact that all sorts of films have
their own space in Tamil. The offers that I got in Tamil were too tempting to
let go. I’m in a happy space right now,” she says.
So, is she putting an end to doing commercial films?
“Not really. Most of my films in Telugu this year are big action entertainers.
I’m eagerly looking forward to Manam. I’ve never worked so hard on my character. I
think all of us (ANR, Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya) surprised ourselves while
acting in the film. It’ll make you smile in the end,” she signs off.
