Actress Keerthy Suresh, known for her stellar portrayal of Savitri in ‘Mahanati’, is set to embody another iconic figure on screen – the legendary Carnatic singer M.S. Subbulakshmi.
Plans are underway to bring Subbulakshmi’s inspiring life to cinemas, with details about the production team yet to be revealed. Hailing from a modest background in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, Subbulakshmi overcame early struggles to captivate audiences with her devotional music, becoming a most respected cultural figure nationwide.
While Keerthy Suresh is the top choice for the role, actresses like Nayanthara and Trisha could be considered if she declines as per sources. Keerthy’s potential portrayal of M.S. Subbulakshmi is expected to be a captivating tribute to the singer’s remarkable journey, adding another feather to Keerthy’s acting career.
Currently, Keerthy is lending her voice to the character Bujji in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, which has Prabhas in the leading role.
