Aarohi Narayan

recently began shooting for

Drishya 2

, in which she reprises her role as Sindhu, the elder daughter of V Ravichandran’s and Navya Nair’s characters.

OTT

during the lockdown and was seen by pretty much everyone who was invested in knowing how the story proceeds. Does that put her under more pressure, given that her character is often in focus in the sequel? “Not really. Although all of us on the cast saw the original film, director P

Vasu

sir insisted that we do not get influenced by any of the performances and give the characters our perspectives, without compromising on the narrative. In fact, Vasu sir is quite the actor himself and is adept at explaining in great detail and extracting what he expects of each of his actors. Also, we began the schedule with some of the more challenging scenes, including with Asha Sharath ma’am and Prabhu sir, so it has been smooth sailing so far,” says the actress, adding that the team will now head to

Coorg

for an extensive 15-20 day schedule.
