Keerthy Suresh who wowed the audiences with 'Nenu Local' and 'Nenu Sailaja' will be commencing work for 'Mahanati', biopic of legendary actress Savitri. The young actress got great opportunity to essay the role of Savitri.

She says she is blessed to have got such offer. She tweeted," I'm blessed to play the legendary #Savithri Garu in #Mahanati along with @Samanthaprabhu2 @VyjayanthiFilms #NagAshwin #HappyWomensDay."

Several Bollywood actresses were considered for this role, but finally it fell in the lap of Keerthy. She will also be playing main female lead in Pawan Kalyan's next film to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. Truly, this beauty is going places.
