With sensitive subject in hand, Mayuri hopes to prove versatility

Mayuri Kayatri believes in variety and versatility. Which is why, even as she is shooting for the yet-to-be-titled project, helmed by PA Muneshgowda, the actor has already confirmed her next. Interestingly, she will be playing the role of a slum dweller, who is forced to take to prostitution.

“I found the role to be interesting, which is why I took it on. I also felt that this role has been crafted well and is as close to reality as possible. It’s a sensitive subject, but the makers have done research to ensure the facts are in place,” she says, adding that the film will strike an emotional chord with the audience.

Nataraj will be making his directorial debut with this project. A dialogue writer, he has previously worked on films such as Romeo, Style King, Zoom, Chaddhi Dosth and Orange, with directors like Guruprasad and Prashanth Raj. For his first film, he will be collaborating with Agastaya Creations.

In the film — that will go on floors in April — Mayuri will star opposite newbie Ram Chetan. While BJ Bharath will score the music, Santhosh is the DOP.
