Shraddha Srinath recently shared some interesting details about the film in a press meet.
What elements in this story impressed you?
- I was born in an army family. We shift states every two years. Naturally, I like to experience different things. My character in "Mechanic Rocky" is different. I played a different character that I haven't done before. This is a very exciting project for me. I took it on as a challenge. I really enjoyed playing the character of Maya. Also, I was very excited to act with Vishwak Sen.
What will your role be like?
- My character's contribution to the story is very crucial. It will be very interesting to see what role Maya plays in Mechanic Rocky's life. There will be a lot of surprises and twists for the audience. There will be many whistle-worthy moments. Director Raviteja has shot it wonderfully.
Do you have combination scenes with Meenakshi?
- We don't have many combination scenes, but we met many times on the sets. She is also from an army family. We have a lot of similarities.
We heard that you rejected a story narrated by Vishwak Sen in the past?
- It was a remake. Actually, I don't like doing remake films that much. That's why I couldn't do that film. Finally, I was very excited to work with Vishwak Sen in "Mechanic Rocky."
- It's difficult to match Vishwak Sen's on-screen energy. He is very funny off-screen. I really enjoyed working with him.
About working with SRT Entertainments?
- They made this film on a very grand scale. Technically, the film will be top-notch. Jakes Bejoy gave amazing music.
How do you feel about your nine-year film journey?
- I don't have godfathers in the industry. I'm moving forward by taking every film as a learning experience. There have been highs and lows in this journey. I saw peaks after "Jersey." Like everyone else, I was also scared when films stopped during the pandemic. My film journey is moving forward just like life. I've learned to take hits and flops the same way. I like to do quality work. That's why I'm a bit selective.
How do you choose your stories?
- When a story comes, it's not in our hands whether it will be a hit or not. I see how strong it is on paper. I also look at the importance of my character. I like to do the kind of films that I like to watch as an audience.
How do you take reviews and criticism?
- I don't take film criticism that seriously. Anyone can have an opinion about a film. I also have an opinion as an audience. However, personal attacks feel a bit hurtful.
What is your favorite genre?
- I like to watch horror. I would love to act in science fiction stories like "Kalki." I also want to be a part of a period film like "Baahubali." I also want to do comedy films. I hope to get more different roles after "Mechanic Rocky."
Your upcoming projects?
- "Daaku Maharaja" is coming for Sankranti. I'm doing a web series in Tamil. I'm doing a film with Vishnu Vishal.
