Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS): Actress Patralekhaa has announced that she will start working on her next project this December.
In an exclusive statement to IANS, the ‘Phule’ star expressed her excitement about taking on a new role. “I’m incredibly grateful for all the love that’s come my way after Phule. It’s a film that holds a very special place in my heart,” she said.
Patralekhaa added, “I’ve been receiving some amazing scripts and exciting opportunities over the past few weeks, and I’m taking the time to read through everything. There’s a lot I’m looking forward to, and I’ll be starting work on my next project this December. Thank you to everyone who’s believed in me and supported my journey.”
She recently portrayed Savitribai Phule in the biopic Phule, directed by Ananth Mahadevan, alongside Pratik Gandhi as Jyotirao Phule. The film was released on April 11, coinciding with the 197th birth anniversary of the social reformer.
Reflecting on the experience, Patralekhaa described the role as transformative and deeply inspiring. “From the moment I was approached for the role, I knew it carried immense responsibility. When I first saw the script, it was quite extensive, but over a year and a half, it was refined beautifully. It was a human drama I couldn’t say no to,” she said.
Portraying Savitribai Phule, she added, was an emotional journey, requiring her to capture the pioneering reformer’s struggles, strength, and enduring legacy on screen.
