In the film industry, actors often change their physique or make alterations to their appearance, such as growing hair or a beard, to match the character they are portraying or to appear more authentic. However, very few actors go to such lengths for their roles. Now, for the first time in Telugu cinema, a young actress has shaved her head for the role she is playing in a film, making it a hot topic.
To provide some details, Sukumar, the acclaimed director of Pushpa-2, is being praised as one of India’s top directors. His daughter, Sukrithi Veni, is playing the lead role in the film Gandhi Tatha Chettu. This heartfelt film, with a social message, features Sukrithi Veni in a scene where she must appear as Gandhi. To achieve the authenticity of the role, she decided to shave her head for the character.
At just 13 years old, most girls wouldn’t want to take such a bold step. However, Sukrithi removed her hair for the role. Sukumar is well-known for his perfectionism when it comes to making films, and his daughter followed in his footsteps, choosing to shave her head for the sake of the character’s realism. This dedication has left everyone amazed. Furthermore, the film’s viewers have praised her performance, noting how natural and impressive it is.
The film, directed by Padmavati Malladi, has been produced by Maitri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and Gopi Talkies. Sukumar’s wife, Tabitha Sukumar, is the film’s presenter, while Naveen Erneni, Yalamanchili Ravishankar, and Shesha Sindhurav are the producers. The film has already been showcased at various international film festivals, where it has won numerous awards. Sukrithi Veni has also won the Best Child Actor award.
The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on January 24. Today, the film’s trailer will be released by Superstar Mahesh Babu through his social media.
