​Sai Pallavi's 'Vennela' is based on a real-life character

The character of Vennela essayed by Sai Pallavi is based on a woman named Sarala. The filmmakers of 'Virata Parvam' claim that Sarala, a real-life character, served as the model for the character of Vennela.

Sarala's mother had reportedly presented a saree to Sai Pallavi.

Sai Pallavi's makeover for her 'Virata Parvam' role, which is evident from the film's trailer as well as her intense acting in some scenes, has garnered the kind of attention that must have lifted the spirits of the film's makers.
