Apurva: I’m playing a mature role for the first time in Purushottama

Apurva has joined the cast of Purushottama, which marks the debut of Bodybuilder Ravi as a lead hero. Apruva, who has starred in films like Apoorva and Victory sequel, was last seen in the Ajay Rao-starrer Krishna Talkies.

Ravi, who has played supporting characters in over 130 movies, will star as the lead and produce this Amarnath SV directorial. Major portions of the film, which was launched on February 14, has been completed. The film was shot in various parts of Mysuru. 

Although the team had only 12 days of shoot left, they had to pack up owing to the lockdown. Apurva, who shared a few stills from the film with CE, says that Purushottama will see her in a different light and she is excited about the role. “This is a revenge thriller and has me playing a mature character, someone way older than me. I play this responsible role of a married woman. Since it’s the first such attempt from my end, I found performing every sequence a challenge,” she says. Sridhar V Sambhram and DoP Kumar R will be handling the music and cinematography, respectively.
