Shetty emphasizes how Bujji defies societal expectations of village women, showcasing her transformation into a powerful individual.

To embody Bujji authentically, Shetty drew inspiration from veteran actress Sobhana.

Written and directed by Krishna Chaitanya, the film promises a captivating narrative that transcends the action elements hinted at in the trailer. Shetty commends Chaitanya’s talent, acknowledging the depth and complexity woven into the script despite his reserved personality.

Shetty describes a healthy competition with co-star Anjali, despite their limited scenes together. Anjali’s dedication and transformation during filming are lauded by Shetty, who admires her senior colleague’s professionalism.

While the trailer showcases action sequences, Shetty assures viewers that “Gangs of Godavari” offers a multi-genre experience. Romance, thriller, comedy, and a melange of emotions are all promised, ensuring a thoroughly entertaining experience for the audience.

Shetty expresses her gratitude to the production house, Sithara Entertainments, and hopes for continued collaborations.
