Aditi Shankar, daughter of director Shankar, debuted in Nesippaya (Telugu: Premistava), revealing her father’s condition to return to medicine if acting doesn't succeed. The film, directed by Vishuvardhan, features Akash Murali and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Aditi Shankar’s acting journey is an exciting one, especially given her unique background. The 27-year-old actress, who holds a medical degree, is now making her mark in the Tamil and Telugu film industries. Aditi’s debut film, Nesippaya, which was released as Premistava in Telugu, has already garnered attention, not just for her acting but also for the backing of her father, the legendary director Shankar.
Her father’s condition for her entry into the acting world reveals a lot about the values Shankar holds dear. Despite his fame and success in the film industry, Shankar wanted to ensure that Aditi had a solid educational foundation. His stipulation that she would have to return to medicine if she didn’t succeed in cinema underscores the importance he places on stability and success, not just in showbiz but in any field.
Aditi’s story is inspiring for many who may be torn between following their passion and their responsibilities. She chose to first focus on her medical education, which might have been a safer route for many. However, her decision to step into the limelight with Premistava is a reminder that pursuing one’s dreams requires determination and a readiness to face risks.
The film Premistava marks Aditi’s first significant foray into the Telugu film industry, and the excitement surrounding its release reflects the anticipation fans have for her performance. Directed by Vishuvardhan, who previously worked on Panjaa, and with music by the famous Yuvan Shankar Raja, the film already boasts a promising lineup. With Mythri Movie Makers distributing the film, Premistava has the resources and backing to make a significant impact at the box office in the twin Telugu states.
As Aditi Shankar embarks on her film career, fans are eager to see whether she can balance her medical background with her new career in acting, and whether she can break away from the shadows of her famous father’s legacy to carve her own path in the film industry.
