Lavanya, can you tell us about your experience while filming Sathi Leelavathi?
Lavanya Tripathi:
Filming Sathi Leelavathi was an incredible experience. The most interesting part was that I found out I was pregnant while we were shooting. It wasn’t easy, but with the full support of the team, I was able to continue shooting without any issues. Despite some minor injuries, I managed to complete the shoot, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.
How did you manage filming while you were pregnant?
Lavanya Tripathi:
Honestly, it was a challenge. Every day after filming, I had to go for my checkups, and it wasn’t easy. I had to be cautious and balance my work with my health. But the team was incredibly supportive, and I had a great crew around me, which helped me a lot.
What kind of role do you play in Sathi Leelavathi?
Lavanya Tripathi:
In Sathi Leelavathi, I play a director. The film is an amazing mix of comedy and emotional moments, and I think audiences will enjoy it. The relationships portrayed in the film are entertaining and light-hearted, and I’m sure everyone will laugh and connect with it.
How was the action sequence experience for you, especially since it’s your first time doing action?
Lavanya Tripathi:
It was definitely tough! I had a kicking scene, and it was a bit difficult, but I managed to push through. I was determined to give my best, and I’m happy with how it turned out. It was a new challenge for me, but I’m glad I could take it on.
You’ve mentioned your personal life in the interview. How important is family to you right now?
Lavanya Tripathi:
Family is everything to me right now. My son and my husband, Varun Tej, keep me busy, and I’ve decided to take a short break from signing new films. Right now, I want to dedicate my time to them and focus on being present at home.
How did senior actors like Naresh and VTV Ganesh contribute to Sathi Leelavathi?
Lavanya Tripathi:
Both Naresh and VTV Ganesh played fantastic roles in the film. Their performances really added to the entertainment factor, and I think they’ve made the film even more enjoyable for the audience.
What message do you think Sathi Leelavathi conveys to the audience?
Lavanya Tripathi:
While the film is fun and entertaining, it also conveys some good messages without being preachy. It shows the importance of relationships and how unity and laughter can get us through tough situations. It’s a feel-good film, and I hope everyone leaves the theatre with a smile.
