Amrutha Iyengar, the heroine of 'Badava Rascal' is happy to associate with her good friend and actor Dhananjay in the film

"My character undergoes a transition, which is also the turning point of the film. I had to mentally prepare to play these episodes, and the team had worked on a particular look for me, which will work out with the audiences," she says.

To be associated with her good friend, and actor Dhananjay, who is also the producer of Badava Rascal, Amrutha says, "I accepted this film but never asked for details about my role. I was confident that Dhananjay would come up with a good film because this was his first production venture. His professional journey, and what he has seen in life, apart from films inspires me. For me, Dhananjay is like an institution, and every time we meet, I have something to learn from him. I am glad that I got the opportunity to work with him on two films."

 Amrutha also had a few words to say about debutant director, Shankar. "The dialogues penned by director Shankar were realistic and candid," she says.

Recalling memories of the Badava Rascal shooting, Amrutha says that the Srinagara area in Bengaluru more or less became a film city for the team. "Every day, we would have a conversation with local auto drivers, cab drivers, street vendors when they shared their experiences, and those were the best part of Badava Rascal for me," she says.
