Shraddha Srinath says delay in releasing Krishna… worked in her favour

Krishna and his Leela was supposed to be Shraddha Srinath’s debut film in Telugu, but for the Kannada actress, the delay in the film’s release has been a blessing in disguise — her Jersey starring Nani was released before Krishna…, and now her name has become a household one in the Telugu States.

“I was definitely bothered about the delay in the release, and I was wondering whether it would be released at all, but now I don’t have any regrets. I’m happy that the film was released in a private channel during the lockdown,” says the U-Turn actress.

Shraddha has now signed Chakra, a multi-lingual film in which she plays a cop. She took inputs from her father, who is in the Army, about things like holding a gun, reveals the actress.

“I got a good response after the recent release of the trailer. I have a lot of action scenes in the film and people can see me in a completely new avatar,” she says, adding, “Action scenes are very new to me, and I am quite excited about this film.”

For Shraddha, the lockdown has been quite an eye-opener.

“My maid has not been coming in to work, so I am helping my mother in cleaning the house. It’s a very humbling experience. I have realised that I am in a privileged position. I realise that I can do a lot to help society, including working to create awareness about various issues,” she says.

Shraddha has done Tamil, films and a Hindi film too.

“My strategy is always to pick good films. I strike a balance among all the industries,” she says.
