Audiences will see a different me in each film: Mannara

From playing an urban girl with karate skills in forthcoming ‘Jakkanna’ to attempting something contrasting in Puri Jagannadh’s ‘Rogue’ and Sai Dharam Tej’s ‘Thikka’, Mannara Chopra says she will surprise audiences with her variety of roles.

“Audiences will see different Mannara in each of my next films. I’m happy that I’ve been getting roles where I just don’t end up being a commodity, but instead have scope to perform. There’s so much audience can look forward to from my variety of roles, I’m sure it will surprise them,” Mannara said.

Her first release of the year will be Sunil-starrer ‘Jakkanna’, which is slated to release later this month. “It’s a comedy with quirky romance. I had amazing time working on this project, especially with Sunil, who is a wonderful co-star. As a newcomer, it’s very important to observe and learn from your co-actors and that’s exactly what I did on the sets.”

The actress also feels that by sharing screen space with Sunil, her comic skills have been polished. “Sunil helped me understand the language better. The challenging part was the dialogues, which had to rhyme in most cases and hence confusing to memorise.

Nevertheless, I worked hard to ensure I got my lines right while performing.” Talking about her role, Mannara said, “I play an urban girl who has learnt karate. I feature in a fight sequence and it’s something audiences will really enjoy.”
