"What really drew me to the project was the emotional turmoil Rudhramadevi went through as a woman. It was intense. She still ruled with compassion, cared for her people and kingdom more than her own life," said Anushka.
Set against the backdrop of Kakatiya dynasty, the film narrates the rise of the ferocious warrior queen Rudhramadevi. With limited reference available on Rudhramadevi and the period in which she ruled, Anushka had to follow the vision of her director to play her part.
"This is Gunasekar's story, so I chose to see it from his point of view. I trusted his vision and blindly followed his lead. My character was developed based on research, including discussions with several historians," she said.
"Even though there was very limited information available, what Gunasekar had gathered to write the story, was very impressive," said Anushka.
Talking about the making of the film, which is high on visual effects (VFX), Anushka said a lot of effort has gone in to recreating the Kakatiya dynasty. "We had to rely a lot on VFX.
Gunasekar and art director Thota Tharani spent months in Warangal studying the remains of Kakatiya dynasty.
Hundreds of sketches were made and that were later recreated with the help of sets and VFX," said the 33-year old actress, who has no time for marriage.
"I'm busy for the next four years. I wish someone can find me a guy. I want to settle down but not soon," she said.
