What impressed Samyuktha the most was Sudeep’s dedication. “I was amazed at how hardworking Sudeep sir is. He showed us how he edits his scenes. At times, I just wanted to sit and watch him, learn about acting, filmmaking, and life. Even at 3 am, he would be cracking jokes, making us laugh. At the end of the day, looking at the set, you realise you’ll miss it. Sudeep sir said the same thing.”
For Samyukta, who has worked in 33 films, this role felt like a fresh start. “This film is fast-paced, and I play a sub-inspector who is seen throughout, alongside a couple of talented actors. A lot happens, and the action keeps everything moving.”
Sudeep plays a police officer in Maxa role he is well-known for. Describing him as “stylish” with “unmatched swag,” Samyukta reveals, “Even in a scene filled with smoke, he manages to look effortlessly cool. Not many can pull that off. He brings so much experience to the role, and it feels completely natural.”
Samyuktha also recalls her growing-up memories of Sudeep. “When I was eleven, Sudeep would visit my grandparents’ house to drop off his friend for rehearsals. I watched Sparsha when he became a hero, and for years, I’ve felt a connection with him.”
Sudeep’s character deeply influenced her. “I started acting like a cop at home—walking, talking like one—and my mother noticed. It was fascinating how I could completely immerse myself in someone else’s role.”
On set, Samyuktha couldn’t help but be curious about Sudeep’s perspective on life. “I often asked him questions about film and life. He would sit down and share his thoughts, giving me insights for acting and making life decisions. It wasn’t just about acting—it was about learning and growing as a person.”
