Ritu Varma is back in Telugu cinema with her latest film, SWAG, where she takes on the exciting challenge of playing two distinct characters—a queen from a matriarchal society and a modern-day girl. Directed by Hasith Goli, this film marks her return two years after Oke Oka Jeevitham, and fans are eager to see her explore these complex roles.

In her portrayal of the queen, Ritu delves into the intriguing dynamics of a society where women hold power, with a storyline that emphasizes their dark intentions toward male heirs. Ritu highlighted that while the film incorporates creative liberties, matriarchal societies do exist in regions like Kerala and the Northeast, providing a fascinating backdrop for her character.

Initially hesitant about the role, Ritu was won over by Hasith’s compelling narration. She emphasized her desire to take on challenging roles at this stage in her career, making SWAG a perfect fit. The film also reunites her with Sree Vishnu, her co-star from their debut film, Prema Ishq Kaadhal, after 11 years. Ritu admires Vishnu’s growth in the industry and appreciates their shared demeanor.

Playing the queen has not been without its challenges; Ritu faced difficulties with the archaic language used in her dialogues. To prepare, she drew inspiration from performances like Ramya Krishnan’s iconic role in Baahubali.

Looking ahead, Ritu shared that she won’t be away from Telugu cinema for long, as she is also involved in an upcoming web series for Hotstar and two films, one featuring her as a cop. With her diverse projects on the horizon, Ritu Varma continues to evolve as an actress, promising exciting performances for her fans.
