Rajshri Ponnappa to debut in Tamil with Saattai sequel

Rajshri Ponnappa, who was last seen in Happy New Year, has just completed shoot for the first schedule of her Tamil debut. Rajshri reveals, “This is the sequel to Saattai, which has been titled Adutha Saattai. I star alongside Samuthirakani sir and we finished shooting for the first schedule earlier this month. The script and role excited me, and being on such a set makes you want to give your best.”
Rajshri says that director-actor Samuthirakani watched her play in Mumbai when he was shooting for Kaala.
“I was supposed to work in a film with him earlier, for which I had auditioned. I think he had mentally made note of me from both the instances, which resulted in the team contacting me. I play an assistant professor, who teaches Tamil in Adutha Saattai. The film is about some of the pressing issues that are relevant for students, which includes the caste system. While there are films that use colleges as their backdrop, they are largely restricted to being love stories. This film will cater to that void, where films about college students are about things that matter to them,” she adds.
