Comedy is a challenge, says Raashi
Raashi Khanna will be seen opposite Sai Dharam Tej in Supreme. Says Rashi, “My character’s name is Bellam Sridevi and she is a strict police officer, but towards the end there is a lot of comedy.” She adds that she has never been as excited about any film as this one, “My introduction scene has an action sequence.”
“Doing comedy is very challenging as I am a shy person in real life. But after this film, people will know me as a comedy actor,” she says, adding, “For me, the story is important, and in this film my character was well-written. After watching the film I am sure that other writers too will start writing for female actresses.”
She says that she was quite apprehensive about a remix song that was originally shot on Chiranjeevi. “In the original song Radha danced with Chiranjeevi garu. So I was a bit nervous, but once we did rehearsals and started shooting, it came out very well. Everyone in the unit appreciated us,” she says.
Raashi, who speaks and understands Telugu, says that she will need some time before dubbing in her own voice. “I can speak the language, but my diction is not fully correct. So it will take some time to dub my voice in Telugu,” says the actress, who has settled in Hyderabad.
She was very happy when her co-stars Vennela Kishore and Raghu Babu appreciated her work in the film. “This is the first time that I got a call from my co-stars about my performance,” she says. Raashi’s future projects are Oxygen with Gopichand and Robin Hood with Ravi Teja.
