Actor Sparsh Shrivastava, celebrated for his role in Kiran Rao's 'Laapataa Ladies', is all set to make his grand entry into Telugu cinema. The 26-year-old performer will be marking his Tollywood debut alongside star Naga Chaitanya in the highly anticipated film, 'Vrushakarma'. In a recent conversation, Shrivastava described his foray into South Indian cinema as an exceptionally special journey.
An 'Absolute Treat' in the Telugu Film Industry
While speaking to IANS, Sparsh Shrivastava could not contain his enthusiasm about working on the project. He revealed that the experience has been nothing short of an "absolute treat". The actor spoke fondly about his collaborators and the overall atmosphere on set, highlighting the welcoming and positive energy that defines the industry.
He expressed his gratitude, stating, "I'm having an absolute treat working on this South Indian film with Naga Chaitanya. It's such a warm, vibrant industry, and they've welcomed me with open arms and obviously delicious food!" His words underscore the inclusive and vibrant nature of Tollywood, which has made his transition seamless.
Creative Freedom with Director Karthik Dandu
Shrivastava also took a moment to heap praise on the film's director, Karthik Dandu. He emphasized the creative liberty that Dandu provides to his actors, allowing them to delve deep into their characters and explore their craft fully.
"Collaborating with him, the wonderful cast, and director Karthik Dandu has been a dream," the actor added. "They're all such kind souls, and the director is a creative genius who gives me the freedom to explore my craft." This collaborative environment appears to be a significant factor in Shrivastava's positive experience on the film.
Overcoming the Language Barrier
While the 'Jamtara' actor is still in the process of learning Telugu, he confirmed that the language difference has not posed a major obstacle during filming. The team has found effective ways to communicate and connect, ensuring that the creative process remains fluid and focused on nuance.
"Despite the language challenge, we find ways to connect, discuss, and vibe on the nuances of each take," Shrivastava explained. "I can't say much about my role yet, but the journey so far is pure magic." This adaptability highlights the professional synergy on set.
Sparsh Shrivastava was last seen in the comedy series 'Dhupiya'. He garnered significant acclaim for his portrayal of Deepak Kumar in the hit series 'Jamtara' and later in Aamir Khan-produced 'Laapataa Ladies', where he played a villager searching for his misplaced bride. His entry into Telugu cinema with a star like Naga Chaitanya marks a pivotal expansion in his promising career.
