Ritu Varma takes a rural detour with ‘Tuck Jagadish’

Ritu Varma on playing a rural character in ‘Tuck Jagadish’ and why strong on-screen women should be the norm than an exception
If there’s a commonality between the characters that Ritu Varma has portrayed so far in Telugu and Tamil cinema, it would have to do with playing confident, strong on-screen women. Think the runaway Telugu hit Pelli Choopulu (2016) or the con-comedy Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal (Tamil, 2020) or the Avarum Naanum - Avalum Naanum segment in the Tamil anthology Putham Pudhu Kaalai (2020). Having grown up watching confident. independent women around her, she cannot fathom why women who speak their mind should be the odd ones out on screen. Ahead of her new Telugu film Tuck Jagadish, which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 10, Ritu Varma discusses her film choices and what it took to play a rural character in the Shiva Nirvana film co-starring Nani.More Related News
