Keerthy Suresh: I refused to do Mahanati initially 

In this candid chat with senior journalist Kaveree Bamzai, Keerthy Suresh recounts her experience acting as veteran actor Savitri in her biopic Mahanati (Nadigaiyar Thilagam) and more. 

"It opened up possibilities for me to explore new women-centric films. When Mahanati was offered to me, I was doing commercial cinema. This was an opportunity for me to prove myself to my detractors. On the personal front, I feel I have become more mature about my choices and stands. I learned a lot from playing Savitri on screen," says Keerthy.
