Actress Sai Pallavi has expressed her desire for playing memorable roles in period dramas. She said she longed to get a role like the ones in ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani.’ Sai said she felt a “little satisfied” with playing Rosie/Maithreyi in the Telugu period film ‘Shyam Singha Roy.’ The Rahul Sankrityan-directorial was set in the backdrop of Kolkata in the 1970s and revolved around the theme of reincarnation.
Talking about the role, Sai said in an interview, “I imagine myself sometimes, you see a few films, you'll think 'oh, I wish I'd get a role' at that moment. I have seen ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, and sometimes you will think so. I think a part of me felt a little satisfied when I did Shyam Singha Roy, and I had to play someone from a different time. It'll be nice if I have a full-fledged role for a longer time.”
On the work front, Sai’s latest movie, ‘Gargi’ was released on July 15. It is touted as an intense drama about a woman fighting for justice. She had announced the release date of the film on her birthday. She wrote on Twitter, "I waited months to talk about this film, And finally!!! my birthday is when the stubborn team decided to give in and release this. Presenting to you, GARGI , @prgautham83's brainchild.”
Last month, Sai was seen opposite Rana Daggubati in ‘Virata Parvam’. Helmed by Venu Udugula, the film is set in the 1990s during the Naxalite movement in Telangana. The actor was also in news for her statements on the 1990s exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. She also posted a video, in which she presented her clarification over her statements, which drew mixed reactions on social media.
