Director Ram Gopal Varma is preparing for the release of Saree, a psychological thriller directed by Giri Krishna Kamal. He wrote and presented the film, drawing inspiration from multiple real-life incidents to highlight the dark side of social media.
Saree Draws Inspiration from Real-Life Events
At the film’s pre-release event, Ram Gopal Varma emphasized that Saree does not focus on a single incident but takes influence from multiple real-life cases. While working on the film, he discovered a reel of actress Aradhya. Despite his vast experience in the industry, her screen presence impressed him. He also praised actor Satya Yadu, a theatre artist, for delivering an outstanding audition.
“Since I have worked with director Kamal for a long time, we both agreed that Aradhya and Satya were the perfect choices for the lead roles. Now, after watching the film, I can confidently say that both the director and the actors have done an exceptional job in bringing the script to life,” Varma stated.
A Story That Reflects the Dangers of Social Media
Actress Aradhya shared insights about her character, explaining that she plays a ‘girl-next-door’ role. She emphasized that Saree explores the dangers of social media, particularly its negative impact on women. “Many women will personally relate to this story. I truly appreciate Ram Gopal Varma for giving me this opportunity,” she said.
Actor Satya Yadu, who comes from Uttar Pradesh, expressed his excitement about his big-screen debut. “Though I have acted in TV serials before, Saree marks my first film. This psychological thriller explores social media stalking. Not just women, even men can relate to this film,” he noted.
