Girl children are not a burden: Geetha Priya

A film about a topic that can touch your heart, Tayavva, is all set to hit the big screen on May 30. Produced by Amara Films, lead actress Geetha Priya takes on the role of a sulagitti (midwife). About the character, she says, “In earlier days, these women used to help deliver babies without a degree in medicine.” As for the movie, Geetha believes that it has a strong message, one that can resonate with people. “It speaks about the importance of preserving the lives of girl children. Even today, most people want to have male children over female children. My character speaks about how girl children aren’t a burden,” she says. Getting into character was hard, adds Geetha. “I had to perfect the slang and diction of a rural woman, which wasn’t easy at all,” she says.
