Sai Pallavi opens up on Virata Parvam

While in conversation with Great Andhra, Sai Pallavi said that she plays mostly contemporary characters except for her part in Shyam Singha Roy (her hit Telugu film last year), which was from a different era, and her role in Virata Parvam is also period based, which is why she jumped at the opportunity to play the part. Highlighting aspects of her character, Vennela, in her upcoming film, the actress added that she needed to own the part and think like her, but the differences between the character and actual self only dawned upon her when she actually began shooting for the movie, explaining that it was the only way to gel with Rana Daggubati’s character, who also belongs to that period.
