Sai Pallavi: Gargi’s journey for justice will captivate all

What made you say yes to Gargi?

I liked the story very much. It has given me the scope to tell something to society, just like the films Vakeel Saab and Jai Bheem.

What is the story of Gargi?

It’s a story based on actual incidents. The journey that my character undertakes for justice will captivate all.

We heard that Aishwarya Lekshmi suggested your name for Gargi.

Aishwarya and director Gautham Ramachandra are good friends. She was also there from the beginning of the project as a producer. She is doing a role in the film as well. Her gesture was healthy.

It seems the film deals with a woman’s freedom as well.

The film deals with pertinent issues, such as how parents talk to their daughters and a woman’s limitations in society.

Are you disappointed with Virataparvam’s box office result?

As an actor, I always want to do unique roles, and Vennela in Virataparvam gave me that fulfillment. We can’t predict the audiences’ reaction to any film.

Recently, your comments about the 1990s exodus of Kashmiri Pandit courted controversy. What is your take on it?

My only regret was they misunderstood my comments.
