Sriya Reddy shares insights on her striking role in 'Salaar'

In the intense narrative of "Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire," where male characters dominate, there emerges a compelling feminine force that not only holds her ground but also surpasses her male counterparts. This powerhouse is none other than Sriya Reddy, who portrays the formidable character Radha Rama Mannar, the daughter of Raja Mannar (Jagapathi Babu), temporarily taking charge of Khansaar. Since the film's release, Sriya's exceptional portrayal has become the talk of the town. 

Sriya candidly shared her thoughts with Hindustan Times, saying that she insisted to Prashanth Neel that her return to Telugu cinema would only be justified with a substantial role. "He promised me my role would stand out, and he’s a man of his word. There were a lot of phone calls, meetings, look tests... By the end of it all, we knew what Radha Rama Mannar was all about," she reveals. While expecting her role to be noticed, the overwhelming love and appreciation that followed were unexpected for the actor.

Beyond Sriya's stellar performance, Radha's distinctive attire is a notable aspect—clad in elegant sarees and adorned with silver jewelry, featuring a distinctive nose ring marking her tribe. Sriya explains. She praises costume designer Poornima Ramaswamy for an outstanding job, avoiding prints and complicated designs that could divert attention from Radha's dynamic personality.

Identifying as a "Reddy girl," Sriya expresses immense pride in returning to Telugu cinema, adding a unique touch to the narrative with her compelling portrayal in Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire.
