My theatre experience helped me: Irra Mor
Irra Mor, from Mumbai, is all set to make a splash in Tollywood with her forthcoming film, Bhirava Geetha. And going by the recently released trailer, which has been trending, looks like the film is a rustic, intense love story amid high action.
“The response to the trailer has been overwhelming, it has boosted our confidence. In fact, on the very first day when I heard the narration, I felt this film will work,” says the engineering graduate.
Talking about her role, Irra says, “I play a girl who goes to London for higher studies. But when I return to the village, certain incidents make me take a stand to support the oppressed. The experience of working for a film has been liberating and I have thoroughly enjoyed the filmmaking process.”
Although it’s Irra’s debut film, she says she wasn’t nervous. “After I moved to Mumbai, I joined theatre and was part of several plays. So my past theatre experience has helped me in getting my expressions and body language right,” she explains, adding, “As for the language, I am new to it, but my entire team helped me understand my lines.”
Irra described the film’s director Siddharatha as ‘an exciting talent’. “What’s more heartening is when someone like Ram Gopal Varma, who is also part of the film’s production, appreciates my work,” she said.
