Hrithika Srinivas, a newcomer who gained attention with her role in Aparoopa, is quickly establishing herself in the film industry. One of her most exciting projects is Aaram Aravinda Swamy, directed by Abhishek Shetty, where she plays a girl with a disability. In this challenging role, Hrithika has no dialogues and expresses her emotions solely through her facial expressions. Despite initial hesitations, Hrithika embraced the role, seeing it as an opportunity to prove herself. "I was told that many actors turned down the role, but I saw it as a challenge," she shares.
Her performance has received positive feedback from her co-star, Aniissh. "His appreciation means a lot to me," she says. Hrithika initially felt nervous about working alongside experienced actors like Aniissh and Milana Nagaraj, wondering if she could meet their standards. However, once she immersed herself in the role, she pushed past her doubts.
Beyond the on-screen experience, Hrithika has learned significant lessons from her co-stars. "At first, I thought Aniissh might be serious due to his intense looks, but he’s actually super fun and easy to work with," Hrithika reveals. She also learned the importance of not letting first impressions shape her expectations and being flexible in her approach to work.
Aaram Aravinda Swamy is Abhishek Shetty's third directorial venture, produced by Shreekanth Prasanna and Prashant Reddy, with cinematography by YVB Shiva Sagar. This project is shaping up to be an important milestone in Hrithika’s acting journey.
