Anushka Shetty may be most remembered for her characters in Arundhati, Baahubali 2, Bhaagamathie and Mirchi, but she wants to do a film based on her character in Vedam.
In Vedam, the melodrama anthology hyperlink film, Anushka played the role of a prostitute. The character was etched tastefully and fleshed out thoughtfully by director Krish Jagarlamudi and his writing team. Anushka would like the character to be expanded into a standalone film. Krish hasn't been able to do it over the years, though.
In today's times, a standalone script based on a character like Saroja would suit a web series format rather than a feature-length film. However, OTT platforms have barely worked with southern superstars. Given budget-related constraints, a feature film would be the only bet if Anushka and Krish go ahead with the idea.
Anushka Shetty's next release is Ghaati. The Krish directorial will head to theatres on September 5.
