Keerthy played Savitri her way

There is no doubt that no one could have portrayed yester year actress Savitri in the film Mahanati the way Keerthy Suresh has. Keerthy Suresh did not try to imitate Savitri, but played the role her way.

Keerthy Suresh prepared for the role by watching Savitri's films. She saw the whole of Maya Bazar as she had to enact the role in this film. A lot of hard work went into this film.

Keerthy Suresh is happy that the audience have showered love on Savitri. The team was unsure how the audience would react to this film. But they are all happy that the audience have accepted Savitri whole heartedly even with her weaknesses.
