Samyuktha Hegde of Kirik Party fame, who is debuting in Tamil as GV Prakash’s pair in Watchman, directed by Vijay, speaks to DC about her experiences working in the film in which a furry golden retriever plays a crucial role. Interestingly, her yet another film titled Puppy also revolves around a dog.
“Director Vijay sir has always been keen on depicting the female artistes in substantial roles. The moment, I was approached for Watchman, I wasn’t even bothered about what genre or the story could be all about, for I was so confident that I have something to upgrade myself out here. By the end of film, my assumptions and beliefs proved right. GV Prakash was also supportive.”
With Nirav Shah and Saravanan Ramasamy behind the camera, Watchman is scheduled for an April 12 release. On the common factor of a dog in both her films, she quips, “Yes, it’s quite coincidental to share the screen space with my favourite pets. However, both these movies belong to different zones.”
