Nivetha Thomas: Enacting Pallavi in ‘Vakeel Saab’ came with responsibility
The Hindu
Nivetha Thomas talks about reprising Taapsee Pannu’s part from ‘Pink’, in the Telugu remake ‘Vakeel Saab’, and pulling off the courtroom meltdown scene in one take
Nivetha Thomas knew it wasn’t going to be an easy ride, to reprise Taapsee Pannu’s role from Pink (2016) and that of Shraddha Srinath from the Tamil remake Nerkonda Paarvai (2019). But she pulled it off with élan and along with her co-stars Anjali and Ananya Nagalla, held her own amid the starry presence of Pawan Kalyan in the Telugu remake Vakeel Saab. Playing Pallavi Vemula, a victim of sexual abuse who is in turn accused of inflicting injury on her perpetrator, turned out to be an emotionally draining experience. The actor who recovered from COVID-19 just in time for the film’s release, watched Vakeel Saab at one of Hyderabad’s popular single screens, Sudharshan 35mm at RTC Cross Roads. “I have to watch my film with the audience; then I am willing to deal with appreciation or criticism from critics, my friends and family,” she says.More Related News
