Meet the Ladies of Prabhu Deva’s Bagheera*
Prabhu Deva’s ‘Bagheera’, directed by Adhik Ravichandran and produced by Bharathan Pictures, has kept the sensational waves whirling among the audiences, and finally, the film is all set for a worldwide theatrical release on March 3, 2023. The leading actresses of the film are so excited about the film, and they share their experience of working on this project, especially with Prabhu Deva, one of the finest and most well-celebrated actors in our country.
Actress Gayathrie says, “This is an amazing project for me as I got an opportunity to work with a multi-faceted icon like Prabhu Deva sir. It’s a little disappointing though that Adhik Ravichandran never allowed me to dance with the master (Jokingly). Working in this movie was something like stepping out of my comfort zone. Adhik is a different breed of filmmaker, who has a unique rhythm, and a good sense of editing, which you can sense and experience during the shoot itself. I am so glad to be a part of such a wonderful team. Bagheera will be a wholesome entertainer for everyone.”
Actress Janani says, “Usually most of the films belong to a complex and intense genre, but this one is different from what I have done earlier. Prabhu Deva sir is such a gem, and working with him was like my long-run dream coming true. Although he has worked with all the big names in the Indian film industry, he was so humble and down-to-earth on the sets. When Adhik approached me, he mentioned that my role has minimal screen presence, but has lots of substance and importance. Although there are so many heroines in this film, there was no catfight. I thank the production house and director Adhik for making me a part of this movie.”
Actress Sanchita Shetty says, “Bagheera is a very special movie in my career. I thank Bharathan sir and Ravi sir for making me a part of this project. This film is a product of hard-working and dedicated people with positive minds. Although there are many heroines in the film, we never had an opportunity to meet each other on the sets. Adhik has written the story so well by giving importance to every single actor. Prabhu Deva sir appears in different avatars for this film, and they have different levels of energy, which will resonate with audiences in the theaters as well. I request you all not to get influenced by the character you watch on the screen, but just enjoy this 100% wholesome entertainer.”
Actress Sakshi Agarwal said, “When Adhik narrated the story, I was puzzled over his basic thought of having a script that has 7 heroines. To my surprise, he handled the entire project smartly, by giving equal importance to all of us. Before every shot, he would interact with me, asking for suggestions, which helped me to improvise my performance. Prabhu Deva sir has a great aura, which can be felt and experienced by everyone around him. Sharing the screen with such a colossal actor was a beautiful experience.”
The star cast of Bagheera features Prabhu Deva in the titular character with Amyra Dastur, Ramya Nambeesan, Janani , Sanchita Shetty, Gayathrie Shankar, Sakshi Agarwal, Sonia Agarwal, Saikumar, Nassar and Pragathi in pivotal roles.
