Recently
director Teja appeared on Gemini Television and stated
that Rakshita is not the heroine of the film Nijam.
The real heroine is Talluri Rameswari. The scribes have got
hold of actress Rakshita at the muhurat
of 'Prem Nagar' and asked about her reaction. Here are
the excerpts....
Have
you come across the statement by Teja that Rakshita is not
the heroine in Nijam?
I
too saw Teja appearing on the Gemini TV and saying that Rakshita
is not the heroine. It does not matter. Because, the film
was released and its doing OK. I have done my best and I am
happy about it. At the end of the day, it's my film! The mother
character in the film has better footage and exposure in the
film. Mother's character is really good.
Did
you have any problems with Teja, while working for the film
Nijam?
No.
I never had any kind of real problems during the making of
the film.
Are
you comfortable doing the paper balls scene?
My
character in Nijam is that of very innocent and small girl,
who tries to do anything she can to impress the hero. She
is just a small girl and she is not bothered about what people
think.
On
the first day of the shooting, I was asked to do the paper
balls scene. I felt really uncomfortable. But Teja has got
me through it. Teja told me not to bother about the 100 people
seeing me on the sets. He asked me to imagine 10,000 people
seeing it in theater. I really respect him for what he is.
But at the end of the film whatever he said (that Rakshita
was not the heroine in Nijam) was really offending.
Did
Teja slap you while making of the film?
The
first day when I entered the sets, I told him that I heard
about him slapping heroines. Then Teja said that he does not
mean to slap anybody. But he does it to get the right kind
of emotions out of the actors/actresses. I guess I made it
clear to him on the day one itself that I do not want to be
slapped.
What
are you planning to do regarding the statement of Teja?
More
than me, the people close to me (the directors and heroes
I worked with) are offended by the Teja's statement that Rakshita
is not the heroine of the film Nijam.
I
guess fighting back about this issue is big stupidity. I am
just concerned about what audiences think about me, but not
Teja. I have done justice to my role. Even Teja knows about
it. I am not bothered about what Teja says.
