Mathu Vadalara 2 is all set to hit the screens on September 12, 2024. Faria Abdullah plays the female lead and she talks about her role, singing and composing a song for the film, future projects, and dreams of doing a film with Prabhas.
After Jathi Ratnalu, you have not scored a big hit. Your take on this?
Yes, you can say that. Some films have worked but not the range of Jathi Ratnalu. But I feel Mathu Vadalara 2 will bring me back into the game. The fun comedy has come out hilariously and my role is also quite good.
How did you bag the offer?
The moment the story was ready Ritesh wanted a girl who could play the role of an agent. He was very particular that the character needs to be very tall and hence, I was the obvious choice due to my height and the kind of roles I have played.
Tell us more about your character in the film?
I play the role of Sannidhi in the sequel. Simha Koduri and Satya are my co-agents and we share a crackling chemistry. I played the role to the best of my capabilities and enjoyed holding real guns and doing the action part. I was waiting to play an action character and this film gave me a chance to go all out.
How different is the sequel from the first part, Mathu Vadalara?
The story continues from the first part and Simha and Satya are now special agents. I join them on a mission. The comedy arises from a very serious situation in the film and how the key characters get entangled in a mess one after the other is showcased in a very hilarious manner.
About your director Ritesh Rana?
Ritesh has a wacky sense of humor and the same was showcased in the promo. The comedy in Mathu Vadala is loud and has tongue-in-cheek humor. The one-liners, fun situations, and how the characters react are showcased beautifully by the director Ritesh. After the first part's success, he is back again with a fun-filled comedy.
You have turned a singer for this film. Tell us about that?
I am a huge music lover and specialize in a style of dancing. When this idea of a special number came in, I had given so many inputs. That is when the music director Kaala Bhairava felt that I should sing the song myself. When we were ready to shoot the song, our director Ritesh came in and said as the song was being shot on me, I should also choreograph it. So, with Mathu Vadalara, I have turned into a singer and choreographer as well.
Future Projects?
I have a film lined up with Thiruveer which will go on the floors soon. My Tamil film, Vallimayil is all set for a release soon. I have banked heavily on this film and feel that it will bring me back in the game and I hope to fulfill my dream of working with Prabhas one day.
