Yay or Nay: Keerthy Suresh in Faabiiana

The stunning Keerthy Suresh recently attended an event where she was the guest at a cultural festival. The beauty was a complete vision wearing an ivory white and gold floor length Anarkali. Her high neck Faabiiana ensemble had intricate chikankari and badla work on it. Styled by Indrakshi Pattanaik, the actress added charm to her look by wearing kundan and pearl work jhumkas from Masaya Jewellery. Minimal makeup with smokey eyes, thick kajal, brown lips and a small bindi finished off her dazzling look. We especially love how she has done up her hair as it is only further adding to the whole ethnic charm.

On the work front, the much-loved Keerthy Suresh will soon be seen playing the lead role in the eagerly-awaited Savitri biopic—Mahanati. And, needless to say, she is quite excited about the same. During a recent chat with a leading daily, she said that the yesteryear star’s god-like image makes this an extremely challenging project for her. She added that the makers will not merely telling her story through the film but will also be playing a proper tribute to her.

“Telugu audiences treat her life like that of a goddess, so it was important that I play her fittingly on screen. When Nag Ashwin (director) told me the film was being made as a tribute to Savitri, that’s when I realised the importance of the biopic. He told me that I didn’t have to look like Savitri, and that they’re merely narrating the legend’s story through me,” added the actress.

Interestingly, earlier it was rumoured that Keerthy had put on weight to play Savitri on the big screen reacting to these rumours, she said that she actually lost weight to play the younger version and used prosthetic to play the older version.

“I actually lost weight to play the younger version of her character. To play the older portion, we used prosthetic. People need to look at this story beyond all these things. Savitri’s life was so fascinating. When people talk about her life, it’s mostly about how she started drinking towards the end of her career or how she gained too much weight. But there’s so much more about what made her one of best actresses of her era,” she added.

On a related note, this is a busy time for the lady. Besides Mahanati, she also has Saamy Square in her kitty.
