I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked in the South over the past 11 months, including projects with legends like Chiranjeevi. My upcoming film stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, where I’m playing the lead role, and it was a fantastic experience.”
When asked about her green carpet mantra, Urvashi added, “It’s all about being yourself. This edition of IIFA Utsavam is a night to honor the incredible South Indian cinema, and I can’t wait to be part of it. In Indian cinema, there are no language barriers anymore—everything is becoming united.”
