Bhaut izzat mili...: Sonakshi on making Telugu debut with 'Jatadhara', Shilpa Shirodkar also shares her experience

Sonakshi Sinha shares heartfelt experience of Telugu debut with Jatadhara, praising cast professionalism. Shilpa Shirodkar reveals her character's greed-driven role in the film.

"The kind of respect I received on that set truly moved me - Sonakshi Sinha"

Mumbai, October 28

Actor Sonakshi Sinha had a wonderful experience working on the sets of her first Telugu film, Jatadhara.

Speaking to ANI, the 'Dabangg' star expressed gratitude to the 'Jatadhara' team for welcoming her with open arms.

"The kind of respect I received on that set truly moved me. The people I worked with... whether it was the cast or the crew, all were incredibly kind, disciplined, and well-organised. What stood out to me most was their professionalism; if a shift began at 9 a.m., it wrapped up right at 6 p.m. Everything was timely organised," she shared.

There was a slight language barrier at first, but not once did I feel like an outsider or that I didn't belong because I came from a different industry or spoke a different language. The warmth and respect I was shown meant a lot. It was a beautiful feeling," Sonakshi added.

Directed by Venkat Kalyan, 'Jatadhara' is set to be released on November 7 in Hindi and Telugu. The film also features Sudheer Babu and Shilpa Shirodkar.

Shilpa will be seen essaying the role of Shobha in the upcoming film 'Jatadhara'.

Discussing her role in detail, she shared, "I am playing character of Shobha in the film. She represents a certain mentality -- people who let greed take over, forgetting their relationships and values in the pursuit of money."

Presented by Zee Studios and Prerna Arora, Jatadhara is produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Shivin Narang, Aruna Agarwal, Prerna Arora, Shilpa Singhal, and Nikhil Nanda, co-produced by Akshay Kejriwal and Kussum Arora, with Creative Producer Divya Vijay and Supervising Producer Bhavini Goswami.

Telugu film industry is known for its discipline and professionalism. Glad Sonakshi had such a positive experience. The 9-6 schedule is impressive - wish Bollywood could learn from this work culture! 👍

While I appreciate the positive experience, I wonder if this level of professionalism extends to all actors or just the big stars from Bollywood. The industry should ensure equal treatment for everyone, regardless of their background.

Shilpa Shirodkar's character sounds interesting! Representing greed and lost values - such relevant themes in today's materialistic world. Looking forward to seeing how she portrays this role after her comeback.

The language barrier comment resonates with me. When I moved from Mumbai to Chennai for work, I faced similar challenges but found people incredibly welcoming. Good to see cinema reflecting this unity in diversity!
