Playing Chitra was challenging

Actress Kamalinee Mukherjee says working in ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’ was like being part of an extended family because she spent over eight months with the film's crew.

"It was a really good shoot. It was probably the longest shoot of my career, spread over eight months. It was so much fun because I felt like I was part of an extended family. It was such a big set-up because there were so many characters and we all met on a daily basis," told Kamalinee."We all bonded like we were part of one big family. Vamsi spent a lot of time working on each of our characters. It must have been challenging but he pulled it off quite well.”

Contrary to the urban roles she's played mostly so far in her career, Kamalinee says she found it challenging to play her character Chitra, a rural girl, in the film.

"Chitra is unlike the urban educated characters I've played. She's more naive, quite raw and yet there's something sweet about her. These things about my character really pushed to take up the role. Thanks to KV, who helped me understand the nuances of my character so well," she said.
