Niveditha is brimming with excitement about her debut in the film industry. “Since we’ve done a few music videos,we know how it is to work together. But films are very different; it’s another ball game completely. We really needed to work on our expressions since the film is a thriller, filled with twists and turns. The script is female-oriented, and I play Niveditha’s character’s boyfriend,” says Chandan.

“Chandan has been my pillar of strength. He knows me in and out, so him being my co-star gives me comfort and helps ease my nerves on set. He’s got more experience in the entertainment industry, both as a musician and now an actor, so I rely on him to help me get into the skin of the character,” says Niveditha.
