Seerat Kapoor on 'Touch Chesi Chudu', Ravi Teja, & more

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,January 27 2018]

Seerat Kapoor is all set to be seen in Ravi Teja's next film, which will hit the screens on Feb 2. Catch her talk about her role in the movie, her experience of working with Mass Maharaja, and more.

What is the rationale behind the title?

The title shouldn't be taken in a literal sense. Touching someone's heart is what the title means to suggest.

You got to play a performance-oriented role in 'Okka Kshanam', although 'Raju Gari Gadhi-2' didn't offer much space. What are your expectations from 'TCC'?

I am playing a substantial role in the movie. It's not a routine character for sure. She dominates men. So, it's a reversal of the gender roles we get to see in movies. I am not of this loud type in real life, although I am a frank person. She is someone who follows her heart. Ravi Teja garu is playing a police officer. However, she is not intimidated by his presence.

I think this film is going to work very well in terms of dialogues, scenes, songs, etc. I am yet to watch the movie. All that I can say is that it is telling the story of a gutsy cop.

How do you take failures?

Everybody aims to score hits. However, it's not possible to deliver hits all the time. I don't feel let down by failures. I take every role that I play and every film that I do as an experience. I always enjoy the experience of working with talented people. I don't worry about the result. My character graph is looking up.

In 'TCC', you are sharing screen space with Raashi Khanna, too. How do you see it?

Both our characters are important. It's not like one character is less important than the other one. There is no second heroine as such. There are no scenes between me and Raashi. My character enters in the second half, while hers is in the first half. I am inclined to do solo heroine's movies. I don't go in for glamorous roles for the sake of it. The story, too, has to be good.

Coming to 'TCC', the film lives up to its title. I am glad to have got to work with Ravi Teja garu.

How many songs do you have in the movie?

I have a mass number which is yet to be released. This is my first mass number in Telugu cinema. It was a great experience shooting for the number.

How was it working with Ravi Teja?

He is a very down-to-earth person. He is a child at heart. He is always enthusiastic to learn new things. There is no trace of arrogance in him. And he is quite relaxed. Whenever he is on the sets, it's electrifying. He is a co-operative artist. He works with fellow artists for the betterment of a scene. He knows how to respect others. He is as energetic off the screen as he is on the screen.

Initially, I was a bit nervous to play the character. But once I felt comfortable, it went all fine.

What are your upcoming movies?

I am doing a film with Rana Daggubati for Suresh Productions. I am paired up with Siddhu of 'Guntur Talkies' fame in Ravikanth Perepu's movie. I have signed up for another film, too.
