The upcoming social-thriller film Aparichite is set to deliver a powerful message wrapped in mystery, with actor-educator Geetha Priya promising to bring a layer of real-life authenticity to her pivotal role as a teacher. The film, produced by Amara Films and directed by Suresh Kumar N, has been generating significant buzz following its recent audio and teaser launch event in Bengaluru.
From Classroom to Film Set: Real Life Informs Art
Geetha Priya notes that her own academic background served as a crucial fuel for her performance. In the film, she portrays a well-to-do educator driven by curiosity and a desire to explore unfamiliar experiences. To prepare, she meticulously observed people with similar personality traits to decode their emotional and behavioral patterns. "I had to study how such a person speaks, behaves and reacts in daily life," she explains.
She recalls that her favourite moment during the entire shoot involved a scene with children. "I relate the most when I’m with kids; and that moment felt natural," Geetha says, highlighting the seamless blend of her professional and on-screen personas. Despite a hectic filming schedule, which she describes as "tiring but interesting," the actor received valuable guidance from veteran Srinath, who urged her to keep her performance grounded and natural.
Star-Studded Launch and Strong Audience Response
The launch event in Bengaluru was graced by notable personalities, adding to the film's anticipation. The trailer was released by former Chief Minister Shri Sadananda Gowda, who praised the film's intent. Actor Tara Anuradha, known for supporting new talent, unveiled the first song. The event also saw the presence of industry figures like Niranjan Shetty, Geetha's co-star Nikita, and several colleagues from her academic circle.
Geetha reveals that the trailer has already received a "very strong response." Viewers have particularly appreciated the suspenseful element. "There’s a decoding angle in the plot and people connected to that immediately," she adds. The film's music, composed by Anil, aims to captivate younger audiences, with its first track featuring a slow-rock flavour.
Anticipation Builds for a Message-Driven Thriller
With its compelling mix of social commentary and thriller elements, Aparichite is positioning itself as a film with both purpose and intrigue. Geetha Priya's unique position as an educator in real life lends an undeniable credibility to her character, promising a portrayal that resonates with authenticity. The involvement of respected industry veterans and the positive initial feedback set the stage for a compelling cinematic experience. "I’m excited for people to watch the film," Geetha concludes, echoing the anticipation surrounding this promising project.
