By Ians English
Actress
Priyamani
learnt
sword-fighting,
archery
and
even
acrobatics
for
her
upcoming
Telugu
social
period
drama
Chandi.
V
Samudra,
who
is
directing
the
actress
in
the
film,
can't
stop
lauding
her
dedication
towards
mastering
the
action
skills.
Talking
to
IANS,
Samudra
praised
Priyamani
to
sky
high,"She
(Priyamani)
was
expected
to
learn
archery
and
sword-fighting
for
her
role.
I
was
stunned
to
know
that
she
is
a
very
quick
learner.
All
that
it
took
her
to
shoot
arrows
was
two
hours
of
training
with
a
professional," Samudra
told
IANS.
The
director
added,
"It's
not
just
dancing
and
romancing
for
actresses,
but
sometimes
it's
more
than
that.
At
times,
it
means
to
wield
the
sword
or
even
doing
a
back
flip
for
an
action
sequence.
Priyamani's
role
is
a
mixture
of
all
that
and
audiences
will
love
her
for
that."
Priyamani
is
playing
an
avenging
angel
in
the
film,
which
also
features
R.
Sarath
Kumar,
Nagendra
Babu,
Ashish
Vidyarthi,
Posani
Krishna
Murali
and
MS
Narayana.
Samudra
said,
"We
are
busy
wrapping
up
the
talkie
portion.
If
all
goes
well,
then
we
are
likely
to
release
it
by
September-end."
The
film
also
features
veteran
actor
Krishnam
Raju
in
an
important
role.
He
added,
"He
plays
the
role
of
a
king.
It
will
be
a
powerful
role
along
the
lines
of
roles
that
he
did
in
films
such
as
Bobbli
Brahmanna
and
Thandra
Paparayudu."
