Ahead of the release of Yudhra, director Ravi Udyawar shared why he cast Malavika Mohanan in the film.
Malavika Mohan is the female lead actress of his upcoming action thriller Yudhra starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan.
Mohanan is already an established actress in the South & has won the hearts of audiences and critics alike.
Talking about the hot and happening Malavika Mohanan, Udyawar said, “Malavika works hard. And I knew who this character I had in mind for her was. The character is a very strong woman, written by us,” the director said.
Speaking about the character and how Malavika perfectly fits the role, he shared,“In an action film, you often believe that the female will be a soft girl. And she is that soft, beautiful girl. But she is at the same time very strong-minded. She knows exactly what she wants. And that’s the character I’ve written for her. The character begins with being a young girl who shifts to become a really smart, confident girl. She also goes through emotional maturity – and that is what I wanted to capture. You know, it’s really very difficult to bring two elements like maturity and glamour together. And she does that really well. She has that personality.”
Yudhra, released in theaters on September 20, is directed by Ravi Udyawar and written by Farhan Akhtar and Sridhar Raghavan, promising to be an action-packed cinematic experience. In the film, Siddhant portrays the intense and revenge-driven Yudhra, while Malavika’s character Nikhat brings depth and emotion, adding a strong emotional anchor to the story. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Yudhra also features a stellar supporting cast, including Gajraj Rao, Ram Kapoor, Raj Arjun, and Raghav Juyal.
