Keerthy Suresh who is all set to be remembered by the Tamil audience as Ponni through the movie Saani Kaayidham alongside director Selvaraghavan which also marks his acting debut has opened up about her role for the first time in this film.

Speaking about portraying Ponni, Keerthy said, "With previously portraying characters that were sweet, charming, and bubbly, Ponni is fresh, raw and rugged role. This film demanded her to be lean and mean. In terms of prep, I didn’t do anything really."

"I think the minute I got into those clothes, put that makeup on, and went on the set, stood by the Matador van, watched Arun and Selva Sir, I was ready. I had never imagined myself in such an intense film, and thus initially the task seemed daunting. But as the story progressed, it became easy for me to don the character of Ponni, also owing to the easy atmosphere on sets and the freedom to improvise and experiment,” she added.

Saani Kaayidham is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on May 6. It will be available in Telugu as Chinni and as Saani Kaayidham in Malayalam. The film is produced under Screen Scene Media Entertainment and it features Keerthy Suresh and Selvaraghavan in the lead roles.
