Sree Leela has to Look Away to maintain Stage Dignity - VIDEO
Speaking at the trailer premiere event, Sreeleela expressed her excitement as well as her pride in playing Vijji Papa since, in contrast to the other roles she is playing, this one has a soul. "I have a lot of gratitude for balakrishna garu because he would make jokes and tell me that we are fellow Geminites whenever I would get carried away with the persona and feel down. He's also given me a lot of experiences that I wouldn't have in real life," she said.
That may have something to do with the fact that Sreeleela's mother abandoned them when she was a child, leaving her without a father. She seems to be saying that the fatherly experiences she experienced on the Bhagawant kesari sets would always be etched in her mind. She also expressed her gratitude to director Anil Ravipudi for giving her the part.
