Nidhi Subbaiah is excited as she finally gets to work with Upendra. There were films that she was supposed to have worked with the Real Star before, but they never materialised. But she is now happy that she not only gets to work alongside him, but it is a pivotal role in his directorial comeback, UI. As she speaks to us, she tells us that she has already finished shooting for a couple days for the film.

The excited actress shares, “I’m finally in a movie that I really want to be in. The roles and scripts that I’ve been listening to so far weren’t fitting the bill.” As for how it all happened, she says, “I was in Goa when I got a call from the team. I cut short my trip to meet Uppi sir. It was nice to know that he was keen on casting me specifically, and I readily agreed after the narration. I am super excited to work with him.”

Nidhi says that she was previously supposed to work with Upendra on a couple of projects, but they didn’t work out due to various reasons. “Uppi sir’s memory is amazing. He recalled all those projects and also reminded me of the couple of times when we had met at different events. I was awestruck,” she says, adding that she immediately began shooting for the film after the narration and has been enjoying her time on the set.

“Uppi sir has a novel way of filmmaking. He is particular about the details and is also a perfectionist. He treats everyone like a child and patiently explains everything. The added bonus of working in this film is that we have a great production house that has delivered cult hits,” explains Nidhi, who adds that they want to keep the details of her character under wraps.
