‘Thoppi’ a film close to my heart: Raksha Raj

“‘Thoppi’ is closer to my heart. It’s the right subject to mark one’s presence and I’m glad I bagged a plum role in my debut film. The shooting atmosphere intensified my confidence level, which went up each day,” Raksha said in a statement.

“Thanks to the whole team, I felt like being at home. This confidence will help me for all my future projects. I would like to choose characters which would reflect my personality in terms of skill and talent,” she said.

Raksha, who is a classical dancer, is well versed in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniyattam.

Directed by Youreka, “Thoppi” features Murli Ram in the lead.
