Hyderabad, July 29 (IANS) Actress Ritu Varma, who played the female lead opposite Vijay Deverakonda in director Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam’s superhit Telugu film ‘Pellichoopulu’, has now penned a heartfelt note of gratitude on the occasion of the film completing 10 years.
Taking to her Instagram page, Ritu Varma said, “Ten years later and my heart is still full. It’s hard to believe that a small film made with so much love has become such a timeless part of so many people’s lives.”
She further went on to add, “Pelli Choopulu gave us far more than we could have ever imagined. It gave us memories, friendships, opportunities, and most importantly, it gave us all of you.”
She concluded the note saying, “To everyone who laughed with us, rooted for these characters, and carried this film in their hearts over the years… thank you. Your love is the reason this journey continues to feel as special today as it did on release day. Yours always, Chitra.”
Ritu Varma has an interesting set of films lined up next. One of her most eagerly awaited films is director Sankalp Reddy’s upcoming historical action entertainer, ‘Bharatavarsha’, which features Telugu star Gopichand in the lead.
The makers of the film had recently announced that the gifted actress plays the character of Sathyavathi in their film and had also released her first look poster on the occasion.
Taking to its social media timelines to release her first look poster, production house Srinivasaa Siver Screen had said, “Deadly aim. Fierce presence. Wishing @riturv a very Happy Birthday as she transforms into #SathyaVathi in #Gopichand33.”
