Actress Keerthy Suresh, who carved a niche for herself through her performances in South Indian cinema, is currently grabbing headlines for her upcoming project titled ‘अक्का’. During promotional rounds for the film, Keerthy spoke in detail about her firsthand experiences of working within the Hindi film industry. She pointed out that the professional approach, from pre-production planning to handling actors, varies noticeably between Bollywood and the regional industries down South.
Bollywood Focuses Heavily on Pre-Production Before Shooting Begins
In a detailed conversation, Keerthy Suresh shared that the Hindi film industry invests a significant amount of time and energy into pre-production before officially kicking off any project. Here, dedicated time is set aside for script-reading sessions and thorough actor preparation. Performers undergo specialized training and get ample opportunities to interact with their co-stars, allowing them to build a comfortable rapport. Keerthy appreciates this particular aspect of Bollywood. According to her, giving artists the time to understand their characters and gel with the rest of the crew before the cameras roll ultimately leads to a much more refined project.
South Cinema Often Introduces Co-Stars Directly on Set
In contrast, shedding light on the working methods of South Indian cinema, Keerthy explained that the dynamic can be somewhat different. Down South, actors occasionally meet each other for the very first time directly on the sets on the day of the shoot itself. However, she clarified that for specific types of roles that demand intensive preparation, the South industry does undertake rigorous workshops as well. The actress stated that she genuinely enjoys working in both industries as each environment offers a unique professional experience, making it difficult for her to rate one method above the other.
Keerthy to Play a Character Named Bhavani in ‘अक्का’
Coming to her upcoming movie ‘अक्का’, the film has been directed by Dharmaraj Shetty and produced under the banner of Yashraj Films Entertainment. Alongside Keerthy, Radhika Apte will be seen essaying a pivotal role. The stellar ensemble cast also features Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar, and Monika Panwar. In the movie, Keerthy plays a woman named Bhavani. Elaborating on her character, she shared that Bhavani holds very clear convictions regarding her principles and identity, going to great lengths to protect her heritage. However, her immense power and authority come backed by several difficult choices.
A Distinct Contrast Against Radhika Apte’s Character
According to Keerthy, the energy and aura emitted by Bhavani and Rudra in the film stand in stark contrast to one another. This fascinating difference between the two characters builds palpable tension and excitement throughout the narrative. The actress described her overall collaboration with YRF Entertainment as a wonderful journey. She is thoroughly thrilled to bring this gripping story to audiences across the nation and the globe via Netflix, and she remains hopeful that viewers will embrace the diverse shades of Bhavani's character.
