Actress Patralekhaa has announced that she will commence work on her next project this December.
In an exclusive statement, the ‘Phule’ actress shared her excitement about stepping into a new role. Reflecting on the overwhelming response to Phule, Patralekhaa expressed, “I’m incredibly grateful for all the love that’s come my way after Phule. It’s a film that holds a very special place in my heart.”
She continued, “I’ve been receiving some amazing scripts and exciting opportunities over the past few weeks, and I’m taking the time to read. I’m taking a little time to go through everything. There’s a lot I’m looking forward to, and I’ll be starting work on my next project this December. Thank you to everyone who’s believed in me and supported my journey.”
Patralekhaa was recently seen portraying Savitribai Phule in the film Phule, directed by Ananth Mahadevan. The movie, which also featured Pratik Gandhi as Jyotirao Phule, was released in theatres on April 11, coinciding with the 197th birth anniversary of Mahatma Phule.
Earlier, in an interview, the actress had spoken about the emotional journey of bringing Savitribai Phule to life in the biopic. Describing the experience as transformative and deeply inspiring, Patralekhaa noted the immense responsibility in capturing Savitribai Phule’s struggles, strength, and legacy on screen.
She mentioned, “My thoughts were clear from the moment I was approached for the role. When I first spoke to Anand sir, he sent me the script, and it was quite thick. I remember calling him, saying, ‘Sir, this script is huge. I have so much to read!’ But he reassured me, saying that it was just the first draft and that they would refine it further. After a year and a half, I received the final script, and it was beautifully written. It was a human drama, and I couldn’t say no. From there on, it felt like a journey, and I just knew I had to be a part of it.”
