Sai Pallavi, who was seen latest in Virata Parvam, in the role of a woman who falls in love with a Naxal leader and writer, said she'd love to work with Thalapathy Vijay. However, the Premam actor, in an interview, had clarified that this would happen only if she comes across a good script. “I am open to working with big stars like Vijay sir, but I should be convinced by the script,” she added.

The actor, who is awaiting the release of Gargi, is emotionally attached to the characters she plays. “For instance, if I am to cry, I need to grow that emotion. I’d need at least 30-40 seconds to start crying,” she said, in an interview.

Sai Pallavi feels that movies have the potential to make people think and reflect on varied topics. “When I heard about incidences of gender discrimination while studying in Georgia, I felt powerless, wondering if we could do something collectively. As an actor, I get to be a part of interesting and real stories. We live in an era where everything is available on mobile phones and laptop computers, especially since the epidemic,” she told a leading English daily, adding how she feels responsible to be a part of morally right stories.

Gargi, which will hit the screens on July 15, is directed by Gautham Ramachandran. In the three-minute teaser, the actor is seen as a teacher visiting court when one of her family members is entangled in a legal matter.

Billed as a courtroom drama, Gargi will be released in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.

Speaking to OTTplay, Gautham Ramachandran assures the audience would find it refreshing to watch Gargi. “I wanted to tell a different story. At the same time, I tried to keep the narrative as genuine as possible, instead of sticking to a template,” he added.
