Actress Kamalinee Mukherjee describes her working experience in the forthcoming Telugu family drama “Govindudu Andarivadele” as like being part of an extended family because she spent over eight months with the film’s crew.
It was a really good shoot. It was probably the longest shoot of my career, spread over eight months. It was so much fun because I felt like I was part of an extended family. It was such a big setup because there were so many characters and we all met on a daily basis,” she said. Krishna Vamsi-directed “Govindudu Andarivadele”, which released today, features Ram Charan and Kajal Agarwal in the lead roles.
“We all bonded like we were part of one big family. Vamsi spent a lot of time working on each of our characters. It must have been challenging but he pulled it off quite well,” she said. Contrary to the urban roles she’s played mostly so far in her career, Kamalinee says she found it challenging to play her character Chitra, a rural girl, in the film.
“Chitra is unlike the urban educated characters I’ve played. She’s more naive, quite raw and yet there’s something sweet about her. These things about my character really pushed to take up the role. Thanks to KV, who helped me understand the nuances of my character so well,” she added. “Govindudu Andarivadele” is a very important film in filmmaker Krishna Vamsi’s career as he’s desperate for a hit after back-to-back duds
