Before taking Samantha aboard, director Sukumar made sure that he will do loads of test shoots with the actress to check if she will match the poor village girl look or not. As she comes from an urban landscape in real life, surely that photoshoot has given enough clarity for the director to cast her as Rama Lakshmi in Rangasthalam.
Cut to the present, Sukumar is said to be doing the same with Rashmika Mandanna now as he wants her look to be as realistic as possible. In the upcoming #AA20, Rashmika will be seen as a Chittoor district based girl who resides deep in the Nallamala forest. To get her look right, Sukumar is said to have got a special photoshoot done other day, such that he could take a final girl.
Reports are coming that the director is super happy for the kind of looks Rashmika portrayed in the shoot, and he felt that she is the super match for the character he wrote. Buzz has that her character is named ‘Seshamani’ in the movie and we will be knowing that after the trailer of the film releases.
Directed by Sukumar, #AA20 has Allu Arjun playing the role of a guy who works in Nallamala forests under various gangs to smuggle red sanders.
