After two back to back hits, actress Surabhi is totally on a roll. Post Express Raja and Gentleman, actress Surabhi says, “I watched Gentleman sitting with the audience and enjoyed the whistles and clapping.” Talking about her character in the film, she told an English Daily, “It was a challenging role to play as it had a few shades. Sometimes the character was very soft and sometimes emotional.
Director Mohan Sir conducted a workshop before the shoot and he gave all the dialogues and asked me to know their meanings. This preparation helped us play the characters in-depth. It helped us perform and also to mingle with the other actors. That’s how Nivetha (the other female lead in the film) and I became good friends. The director of the film, Indraganti Mohan Krishna, wanted to cast Surabhi after seeing her act in Tamil film Raghuvaran B.Tech. Talking about her admiration for Nani, she says, “I have watched all his films, he is a unique actor. He was very supportive throughout the film; actually he suggested my name to the director,” she says.
