In her own words, “I am having a blast on that film. It is a very different and interesting character. I think Buchi Babu is such a rooted director. I mean, Uppena is such a superb film. He has a great vision, and he pushes you a lot. I think the character he has though for me… I don’t feel like a conventional heroine.”

“I am just very fortunate to be on the set. I love Ram sir, he is such a gentleman. He is such an amazing energy… such a diligent and sincere person. He is a huge star, but he comes on set like a student. I can’t wait to go back on that set,” Janhvi concluded.
