Actor Vaishnavi Chaitanya became a household name after the sensational hit, Babywhere her performance was widely appreciated. After that, she acted in a couple of films, but they did not live up to expectations. She is now coming up with Epic – First Semesterin which she is paired opposite Anand Deverakonda. This marks their second collaboration after Baby. Epic is directed by Aditya Hasan and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya.
Vaishnavi shares she is happy to have made her own mark in the industry. “The support of my parents, the film industry, and the audience has brought me this far. Many Telugu girls are making their mark in the film industry with their own individuality, and I am happy to be one among them,” says Vaishnavi, who plays Kadali in Epic. “She is a strong girl who stands up for herself, and has immense clarity. Anand’s Aditya is soft and calm, and that’s what makes this journey interesting.”
Talking about how she became part of the film, Vaishnavi says, “I am always looking for new roles, and if I am excited about the story and want to see myself in that character, I choose it. That’s how I selected my stories after Babyand Epic was also chosen in the same way.” While she met Aditya for the first time during the narration, Vaishnavi had already seen his web series, 90s – A Middle Class Biopicand liked it. “He is a very chill guy, and working with him is a lot of fun. He observes life deeply, notices even the smallest things, and talks about their significance. The same quality can be seen in Epicas well. He shows how even the little things between Aditya and Kadali matter. Aditya is a unique director, and he has become one of my favourites,” says Vaishnavi.
