Laila, it’s great to see you back in Tollywood with Godari Gattupaina. How does it feel to make your return after such a long time?
It feels amazing, to be honest. I’m really grateful to director Subhash for bringing me back into the Telugu film industry. It’s been years, and I’ve missed the energy and warmth of Tollywood. The team has been so welcoming, and it’s truly exciting to be part of such a wonderful project.

Without giving too much away, my character in Godari Gattupaina is strong and independent, and I’m really excited about the role. It’s a great opportunity to showcase different emotions, and I’m looking forward to how the audience will respond to it.
