The whole plot revolves just around my character. We have finished shooting for the Telugu version. Getting nostalgic, she adds, ���Shooting in Vizag was extra special as I lived in this city for a couple of years when in school. It brought back some fond childhood memories.���
In fact, Nikitha just can���t seem to shake off her connection with Vizag. ���For my first film too, we shot a song in Vizag and now my second film is set here. I hope I get to come back to Visakhapatnam in the near future for other films too,��� she adds.
The actress recalls the years she spent in the Port City, Nikitha says, ���My father worked here for a while. I completed my schooling in Vizag and I consider this phase a turning point in my life. I spent the years that matter here in this city,��� says Nikitha, who appreciates the cleanliness of Visakhapatnam the most. ���It is truly a clean and green city. Plus, it���s so calm. The people are so warm too. The Telugu spoken here is very sweet and has a sing-song lilt to it. And who can forget the natural beauty of this beach city, which is located in the middle of mountains. I still fondly remember my long beach weekends here,��� she adds.
Nikitha has become a celebrity in her own right in the city. ���When I was shooting for my first film here, one of my classmates came to the shooting spot to wish me luck. I was thrilled that she remembered me. In fact, all my Vizag friends watched my first film here and called me to congratulate me and compliment me on my work,��� she says.
Nikitha is currently busy with a few projects in her kitty. After Made in Vizag, she will start work on Race, a commercial entertainer. ���I have just signed up for a couple of exciting new Tollywood projects which will be announced soon.
