Sanam Shetty, who has become busy in Tollywood because of her extended cameo in Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu, is back in Tamil with a fantasy adventure movie Thagadu. The movie, directed by debutant Thangadurai, has Prabha and Ajay as the male leads in a contemporary setting. Sanam, who plays a princess in the medieval period, says, “The story is about a treasure hunt, and the narration goes back and forth.
Playing a princess was a fresh experience and it was fun because I have not done a character like this before. At the same time, wearing heavy period costumes, jewellery, and makeup as well as performing perfectly, was a big task,” she quips.
For his part, the director says that Sanam’s role is a challenging one. “She will be part of both contemporary and period set-ups,” Thangadurai explains.
