Samyuktha Menon seemed grounded when a scribe asked her, “You’ve striking similarities with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Would you want to become a star like her?” And by immediate reply, you would judge an actor by what’s going on in his/her mind when a movie is scheduled for release on the weekend.
Samyuktha, just a film older after she appeared in Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Bheemla Nayak’, is playing a character opposite star Dhanush in the movie ‘Sir’. This Tamil-Telugu bilingual is being bankrolled by Sithara Entertainments. Directed by Venky Atluri, the film is about the dark side of the education system in the country. The actress said ‘Sir’ doesn’t make the audience feel bored. It’s not preachy either. It is a wholesome entertainer, she adds. She had visited a few villages in rural Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to get the vibe of the village atmosphere before the shoot began.
