Coming back to Shriya Reddy, in an interview with Hindustan Times, she said that she had not expected this much love to come her way for her role in 'Salaar'.
"He (Prashanth Neel) promised me my role would stand out and he’s a man of his word. There were a lot of phone calls, meetings, look tests…By the end of it all we knew what Radha Rama Mannar was all about,” she said.
"Prashanth knew what kind of colour palette she needed to carry and the jewellery she would wear from the get-go. Costume designer Poornima Ramaswamy did a fabulous job. Prints, stripes, anything complicated that took away focus from her personality were avoided," she added.
