In a conversation with SCREEN, the actress recalled, “I was at my cousin’s wedding and at that time I got a call asking if I could come the next day. So literally, I left the wedding procession, and ran to Hyderabad. My flight was at 5 AM. I didn’t sleep all night. “They said, ‘No, no, just come. Tomorrow we’ll just do the reading, and start shooting the day after.’ So when I arrived, they said, ‘We’re reading the script and we just want to see the look.’ And when I came, they said, ‘okay fine, now let’s come and shoot’.”
RRR marked Shriya’s second collaboration with SS Rajamouli following Chatrapathi in 2005, which featured Prabhas.
How was it on the RRR set for Shriya
Beyond the chaos with which she joined the project, Shriya also recalled the atmosphere on Rajamouli’s sets. She said, “One thing I’ll always remember working on his film is that everyone always has lunch together. Everyone is out and they all sit together to have lunch. And Rama Ma’am, his wife, brings homemade food from home. The cameraman and everyone else, we all sit together, discussing which scenes we’re doing, talking about movies and movies that inspire other people. It’s just so much fun to do that with him.”
