Sriya Reddy entertained the audiences as Radha Rama in Salaar, which featured PAN India star Prabhas as the protagonist. The actress recently acted in a web series called Thalamai Seyalagam and is now busy promoting the show. In one of the interviews, she spoke about Salaar.
Sriya Reddy said, “I grilled Neel every day. I had to keep reinforcing him that my character should have prominence in Salaar’s narrative, though Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran are the leads. I think actresses should ask pertaining questions. I used to ask Neel about my dialogues, where I would feature in a scene, and at what moment my character would appear. An actor should ask these pertaining questions, but people generally don’t ask.”
Sriya Reddy continued, “A few actors are satisfied if they are part of a big film. Only when actors ask pertaining questions will you see the difference. When I go on sets, I need to know what I am going to talk about. Prashanth Neel has a habit of writing dialogues on the sets. That was worst, and I wanted to murder him every time he did that (giggles). But I would take my own sweet time to learn the dialogues. I don’t like prompting, and I feel you have to be that character. Only when the actor gets into the skin of the character, the impact would be solid.”
