Priyanka Upendra plays the role of govt school teacher in 'Miss Nandini';film poster release today

The film, being directed by Gurudatta S R, will mostly be shot in Coorg and deals with the disparities between private and government schools. “And I try to find new ways to bridge that gap,” says Priyanka.Elaborating on her part, she says that she is gritty and extremely strong-willed. “Yet, there is a soft side to her when she deals with the kids, though she is firm about what she wants. And that makes her popular with the children,” adds Priyanka.

As for her look in the film, it was based on her idea. “I wanted to keep it as simple and basic as possible. I did away with glasses because it has become a staple with such roles. Instead, I chose to focus on how she wears her watch, the way she does her hair. It had to convey that she doesn’t tolerate any nonsense,” says Priyanka. Ravichandran will release the poster of the film today and the film is expected to go on the floors on October 16.
