When Digangana Suryavanshi Was Compared To Hema Malini By Producer Kalaipuli Thanu

During the press conference of the 2019 Telugu film, Hippi, actress Digangana Suryavanshi, who made her Telugu debut with this film, was showered with immense praise. The actress who's now all set to take the lead in her next Hindi web film, Showstopper, had already proved her acting prowess and dedication as a professional back in the day. Let's have a look at what the who's who at the press conference had to say about Digangana.

Present at the press conference was Kalaipuli Thanu, a name synonymous with groundbreaking cinema, who toffered high praise for Digangana Suryavanshi. He said, "Bhanu Rekha, Hema Malini, Savitri, Saroja Devi, Jayalalithaa madam; that kind of acting capacity this girl has".

Digangana, who is critically acclaimed for her performance in Hippi didn't just prove her mettle as an actress but ensured that she powered through bad days like it was nothing. For the unversed, the actress had sustained severe burn injuries from riding a bike in the film (she had learnt bike-riding for the film), but she decided to shoot at the beach through the discomfort! Now we all know how painful it could be when salty beach water comes in contact with burnt skin- ouch! Hats off to Digangana!

At the same press conference, even Satya movie actor JD Chakroborty, said, "Although she doesn't know the Telugu language, she ensured that she byhearted all her dialogues since day one- in a way that you could ask her any dialogue at any point and she'd just know! She never took prompting and that's very admirable!".

Well, for someone who doesn't just know Telugu but is also making her debut with a Telugu film, it is in fact admirable how Digangana did not even take prompting- this goes to show her amazing grasping power and strong will to learn things!

After Hippi, Digangana went onto star in Telugu films like Seetimaarr and Crazy Fellow that turned out to be great hits! She'll soon star in the lead role in a People's Media Factory film, and we can't stay calm!
