Neha Saxena joins Mohanlal's 'Vrushabha': With 3000 junior artists and massive sets, the pace of the shoot here has taken me by surprise - Exclusive!

Neha Saxena has landed in Mysore and joined 'Vrushabha' starring Mohanlal. Helmed by Nanda Kishore, a multilingual 'Vrushabha' also has Roshann Meka, Shanaya Kapoor, and Zahrah S Khan in crucial roles and the shoot is progressing.

Neha Saxena, who has worked with Mohanlal twice (Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumpol, Aaraattu) is teaming up with the superstar yet again, and the diva is exhilarated. "It's always an honour to work with Lalettan," Neha Saxena says exclusively to ETimes.

Mounted on a massive budget, 'Vrushabha' is one of the most anticipated upcoming big-ticket releases, which is backed by Ektaa R Kapoor's banner, along with another leading production house.

When asked about how she landed the pan-Indian project, Neha Saxena shares, "I got a call from the production house, asking if I was interested. Interestingly, just the day prior to that call, I had a conversation with my mother when I came across a picture of Ektaa Kapoor and Mohanlal. As a movie buff and someone entrenched in the industry, the prospect of this collaboration had me eagerly anticipating the film's release. Receiving a call from that very production house almost felt surreal!”

"I am paired opposite Srikanth in the film. I cannot talk more about my role, but the character is pivotal,” she added.

As she was filming her portions in Mysore, the actress divulged some exclusive details regarding the production, "Lalettan was on the sets. There are about 3000 junior artists, actors, and their entourages, the technicians - it's crazy in there. Massive sets have been erected, and we all were filming our respective portions, simultaneously. With 3000 junior artists and massive sets, the pace of the shoot here has taken me by surprise."

Neha Saxena also hinted that National award-winning action choreographer Peter Hein was on the sets of 'Vrushabha'.

Speaking about returning to the Tollywood and working with director Nanda Kishore, she tells us, "Though I have worked in Telugu before, I was focusing more on Malayalam these days. Coming to ‘Vrushabha’, Nanda Kishore briefed me on my role, and I am amazed by the ease with which he operates! I have seen his films earlier. It's a dream team to work with.”

On the work front, Neha Saxena also has a Nadirshah directorial in her kitty, among other projects.
