Sandalwood’s Smiling
Queen Harshika Poonacha
is one of the most glamorous actresses in the industry and has signed a new movie which is directed by
Adavibhavi Sharan
. The movie is titled as ‘Om Prema’ which has a women-centric plot. The film is produced by
Ram Preeth
and
Harshika Poonacha exclusively spoke to ETimes about ‘Om Prema’ and more.
The actress said, “My shooting for the movie ‘Om Prema’ has not yet started. The team had approached me before lockdown, but we were planning to give news only after completing a portion of the shoot. The team was shooting other characters, and the
male lead character
is yet to be selected.”
Harshika started her career from the movie ‘PUC’ and played many important roles in films. “I feel so good and happy to play a women-centric role. In the beginning of my career, my role in the movie ‘Jackie’ was one where I get kidnapped and the story continues. In ‘Thamasu’, I played a Muslim girl where I had such a beautiful character to play in my career. And even in ‘Chitte’, I played a women-centric role. When I recall them, I feel very happy, and I thank all my directors for all this,” said the actress.
She added, “After ‘Chitte’, it's ‘Om Prema’. The character is so beautiful in ‘Om Prema’, where I play a very strong role. It is about a boy who has bad habits like drinking or smoking. He is married to a strong girl who has her own mind and changes the boy. Many men have changed after marriage. The girl is so powerful and confident that she can remove all the negativity from the man’s life. I played that kind of a character in this movie. It also increased the respect of women among people.”
Recently, various state governments have brought about relaxations in film shootings, with certain guidelines. Many people have already started shooting. “We are planning to start shooting immediately with indoor shooting as because of the pandemic, even my producer is a little worried about the situation. We are all set. Once the pandemic comes down, we are ready to go in a flow, and the team is well prepared,” said Harshika.
Harshika Poonacha has also signed another women-centric movie ‘Migrate’, and a Tamil and Malayalam movie as well. Due to lockdown, everything has been postponed and will start soon after things are under control.
