\u201cAudiences Will Relate to \u2018Little Hearts,\u2019 It Reminds You of Your College Days \u2013 Heroine Shivani Nagaram<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
After impressing the audience with Ambajipeta Marriage Band, young heroine Shivani Nagaram is now playing the lead role in Little Hearts alongside 90s Middle Class Biopic fame Mouli Tanuj. Directed by Sai Marthand under the ETV Win Originals banner, the film is produced by 90s Middle Class Biopic director Aditya Hasan. Bunny Vasu and Vamsi Nandipati are bringing the film to theatres, with a grand release scheduled for September 5. In a recent interview, Shivani shared her experiences and insights about the film.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On how she came onboard:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cMusic director Sinjith Yerramalli is my childhood friend. He brought Little Hearts to me and said, \u2018Listen to this, it\u2019s a really good story.\u2019 When director Sai Marthand narrated it, I found it very exciting. I loved how every character was designed.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On choosing projects carefully:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAfter Ambajipeta Marriage Band, I did get offers, but I wanted to be selective. A film should have strong content for people to come watch it in theatres. That\u2019s why I waited for the right project.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022Difference between her films:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAmbajipeta Marriage Band had a love story mixed with emotional depth. But Little Hearts is different, it\u2019s a lighthearted film filled with college fun. Even though there\u2019s a love story, it doesn\u2019t have heavy emotional elements.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022About her role:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI play Katyayani in Little Hearts. I didn\u2019t prepare in a special way because the role itself feels very natural and relatable. The friendship and love between Akhil and Katyayani will remind audiences of their own college days.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022Relating to the character:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cKatyayani\u2019s character is close to my real life. I was also an average student during college. Watching Little Hearts will remind people of their student life experiences. From the beginning, this film was made for theatres. With Bunny Vasu and Vamsi Nandipati coming onboard, it\u2019s now being released on a bigger scale, including overseas.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On co-actors and shooting experience:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSince Mouli started as a content creator, he\u2019s great with social media reels, but I directly entered films, so I\u2019m not as active online. Shooting for Little Hearts was as fun as the film itself because most of us were of the same age and bonded like friends. Senior actors like Rajeev Kanakala, Anita Chowdary, Kanchi, and Satyakrishna encouraged us a lot. Rajeev sir\u2019s role is fun, while Kanchi garu plays a serious character. Satyakrishna and Kanchi played my parents, and working with them was a great experience.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022Nostalgic moments:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis movie reminded me of my own school and college days. It felt like a summer camp experience. Since I studied in girls\u2019 schools and colleges, I never had opportunities to interact with boys, so acting in this film gave me that vibe. I\u2019m grateful that Bunny Vasu garu and Vamsi Nandipati garu believed in the content instead of looking at it as just a small film. This is also the first theatrical release coming from ETV Win, which makes it special.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On music:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe songs in Little Hearts are getting a good response. My favorite is the Rajagaadi song. Mouli and I performed a hook step in it.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On career choices:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a one-year gap between this film and my previous one because I was waiting for the right project. New heroines may have entered the industry during this time, but I don\u2019t compare myself. I just focus on doing good films when opportunities come. I don\u2019t differentiate between theatre and OTT. Eventually, every big film ends up on OTT, and I\u2019m also open to web series if good opportunities come.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u2022On growth as an actress:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cIn my first film, I had many emotional crying scenes. But in Little Hearts, I got to play a fun, entertaining character. I\u2019d love to do more romantic comedy entertainers. Up next, I\u2019m working with Suhas in Hey Bhagavan, a complete hilarious entertainer. The glimpse is already out and the shoot is nearing completion. Apart from that, I have two more films lined up.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
