Extraordinary Story of ‘Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes’: Ananya Nagalla Opens Up
The much-anticipated crime thriller Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes, starring Vennela Kishore in the lead role, is creating buzz ahead of its theatrical release on December 25th. Written and directed by Mohan, the movie features Ananya Nagalla and Siya Gautam in pivotal roles. Produced under the Sri Ganapathi Cinemas banner by Vennapusa Ramanareddy and presented by Lasyareddy, the movie has already built excitement through its intriguing teasers, trailers, and songs.
In a recent press interaction, Ananya Nagalla shared her experiences working on this unique project and the aspects that make this film special.
What Attracted You to the Story?
“Until now, I’ve never come across such a story,” says Ananya. “When Mohan Garu narrated it, I was instantly drawn to its novelty. Each incident in the plot is presented from different perspectives, which makes it highly engaging. I immediately said yes after hearing the narration. It’s a very different film and will undoubtedly serve as a perfect Christmas gift for audiences.”
Title Justification
The title Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes stems from the protagonist’s name: Sharmilamma (mother), Loknath (father), and Om Prakash (the hero). The initials of these names were combined to form the quirky title. “In Telugu cinema, when you think of a detective movie, Chantabbai featuring Chiranjeevi Garu comes to mind. We wanted to create something similarly memorable,” Ananya explained.
About Ananya’s Role
Ananya plays the character Bhramaramba, which she describes as both challenging and intriguing. “This role is unlike anything I’ve done before. The story itself is extraordinary, touching on real incidents like the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. While big events grab attention, smaller incidents often go unnoticed. This movie explores such an overlooked case, unraveling twists and turns in a captivating way.”
Working with Ravi Teja and the Love Story Angle
Sharing her experience working with Ravi Teja, Ananya said, “It was great to work with him. His dedication to improving every scene was inspiring. Our scenes include a cute love story along with elements of thrill and suspense.”
Music and Songs
The film’s music has already struck a chord with audiences. “The three songs released so far have been chartbusters, especially the Srikakulam song, which has deeply resonated with listeners. Even the love story song is beautifully composed,” Ananya added.
Compliments from Pawan Kalyan
Ananya had the privilege of working with Pawan Kalyan earlier, and she recalls his appreciation fondly. “While shooting a court scene, he complimented me, saying my emotional quotient was evident, and my expressions conveyed real pain. That feedback meant a lot to me,” she shared.
Future Projects
Ananya is already exploring more female-oriented roles. “I’m working on a female-centric Hindi movie. In Telugu, I have exciting projects like Kathakali and Lechindi Mahila Lokam lined up,” she revealed.
Closing Thoughts
Ananya expressed gratitude for her journey so far. “I’m happy with the consistent work I’m getting. After receiving praise for Pottel, I’ve been offered great scripts, and I’ve already signed two new films. Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes has been an incredible experience, and I believe it will be one of my best works.”
Don’t miss this thrilling mystery, releasing on December 25th, to witness an engaging narrative filled with suspense, drama, and entertainment!
