Bringing honesty to every role is what matters most to me: Sri Gouri Priya
Born and raised in Hyderabad, Sri Gouri Priya grew up watching films in local theatres before stepping into the limelight herself. With notable roles in films like Mail (2021), Writer Padmabhushan (2023), and the coming-of-age comedy MAD (2023), she is part of a growing wave of homegrown talent making a mark in Tollywood. Now working alongside names like Abbas and GV Prakash in an upcoming Tamil family entertainer, she talks about the beginnings that shaped her, the language that grounds her, and her drive to bring alive stories that stay with audiences long after the credits roll. 'Hyderabad has shaped me, both as a person and an actor' For Sri Gouri Priya, Hyderabad is not just home but the foundation of her love for cinema. 'I'm a proper Hyderabadi girl. I was born and raised here, went to school and college here, and I think so much of who I am today comes from this city. Growing up, I spent countless weekends watching my favourite films in the classic theatres here. That's where the dream really began,' she says. Even before she made her mark on screen, she was no stranger to the stage. 'I participated in every school cultural activity, was part of a singing reality show, and then, quite randomly, I entered a beauty pageant and won. I also had small roles in films like Fidaa. But at that time, I honestly didn't imagine I'd become a lead actress. Things just started falling into place naturally,' she reflects with a smile. 'I became known as the girl who slaps in MAD' While she gained recognition with Mail (2021) and Writer Padmabhushan (2023), it was her role as Shruthi in MAD that brought Gouri widespread attention. 'Post-MAD, things changed significantly,' she says. The film connected her with younger audiences, who often associate her with her character's punchy moments. 'People often come up to me and say, 'You are MAD!' I have to clarify, 'No, I'm from MAD,' she says with a laugh, adding, 'But, it's nice to be remembered for a role that resonated with viewers. ' 'No matter what language you speak, your job is to bring truth to the character' For decades, Tollywood has largely been dominated by non-local actresses, which has fueled the lingering perception that Telugu-speaking girls get fewer chances. 'I've met many directors and producers who specifically look for Telugu-speaking girls for their projects. In that sense, I've personally found the industry to be quite welcoming,' Gouri says. Drawing from her own journey beyond Tollywood, she recalls working on the Tamil anthology Modern Love Chennai: 'I wasn't familiar with the setting or the dialect, but I trained with a local woman to get the nuances right. For me, no matter what language you speak, the essence of acting lies in portraying the character truthfully and bringing authenticity to the screen.' -There's something special about seeing yourself on the same screens you grew up watching as a kid. That full-circle moment is hard to describe. I carry that sense of gratitude and responsibility into every role I take on - In True Lover, I played a woman who walks away from a toxic relationship. That experience made me realise how much I value being part of films that create meaningful conversations and spark dialogue - Divya Shree

Ravi Kishan Joins Ajay Devgn In Dhamaal 4 After Son of Sardaar 2
Dhamaal, which first released in 2007 and directed by Indra Kumar, was famous for its slapstick humour and memorable one-liners. The movie features Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaaferi, and Ashish Chaudhary, and revolves around four lazy, broke friends who discover a dying man's secret about a hidden treasure. What follows is a hilarious race to Goa as they compete with each other and the police to claim the fortune. Inspired by the classic Hollywood film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Dhamaal gained cult status for its comic timing, quirky characters, and lighthearted storytelling, leading to two sequels – Double Dhamaal and Total Dhamaal. Meanwhile, Ravi Kishan is also shooting for the second season of Maamla Legal following its huge success in 2024. Taking to Instagram, Netflix wrote in the caption, 'Order order!

From bachelor pad to disco bar
A claim to set itself apart in a sea of design-centric events was a tall order. In how many different ways could decor and product brands showcase their products? Last month, I walked into Design POV — a new design event debuting in Mumbai that positioned itself as not just another exhibition but as a platform that 'does design differently' — with high expectations. And I was greeted not by row upon row of neatly arranged stalls or pamphlet-heavy product displays, but by a welcome sense of discovery as I manoeuvred through the curated booths at the Jio World Convention Centre . Be it Kumpal Vaid of Purple Backyard's quirky cafe in neutral tones entitled The Mad Hatter's Tea House, with an interactive game of fortune-telling teas or the crimson-drenched monochromatic journey into what could be a bachelor pad, a powder room or a disco bar, courtesy of Sumessh Menon's design genius, the design interpretations ranged from the poetic to the absurd — for it was one of those rare occasions to build without a brief. As Menon explains, 'This is completely experimental, and that's what excites everyone. We're exploring new materials, new concepts, things that haven't been done before.' Crafting an ecosystem The concept needs decoding to be fully understood, which lent gravitas to its engagement factor. Visitors felt the need to ask about the story behind the curation. And here's why. At the heart of Design POV lay The Core — the central concept of the event: 19 of India's most innovative design studios were each given a blank 800 canvas to create installations under the powerful theme 'Echoes of Tomorrow'. The catch? All the products they used were to be provided only by the participating brands (luxury material and product brands such as Wriver, Colosseum, Swamy Marmo, Sunroof, Hybec, and Embellish). This is what positions Design POV as a beacon of transformation: to allow visitors to reimagine products seen in stalls (usually on display in sterile environments with many of their kind) as a part of a living and breathing ecosystem. Design POVsucceeded in cutting through the noise, offering a convergence of architecture, interior design, visual arts and material innovation. The ground-breaking event — conceptualised and executed by Totality Solutions and presented by Tabu and Elite Building Materials (EBM) with Design Partner Birla Opus Paints — offered an immersive dialogue between thought, form and concept while focusing on the essence of creativity itself. The 19-participating studios are some of the brightest names in Indian design, including Gowri Adappa, Arun Sharma, Sumit Dhawan, Maha K & Vijay Kumar, Gayathri & Namith Architects, Hiren Patel, Quirk Studio, Rohit Bhoite House of Design and Sona Reddy, among others. Thinking beyond 'typical' When approaching The Core, each designer's take was one-of-a-kind. For instance, Pooja Bihani's Woven Air reimagined a hotel suite in West Bengal for a traveller of the future, one who seeks and doesn't just use. 'This was the first time I worked with so many textiles, grounding the space in the traditional kanthas, gamchhas and jamdanis of the East,' she elaborates about the rich, colourful space enlivened with swirls of indigo and reds. Nishita Kamdar of her eponymous studio worked specifically with nature-inspired materials and motifs for her installation, A Walk in the Garden. 'I wanted to create this meditative Zen space that feels like a pause for visitors and activates all their senses,' she explains. Ameet Mirpuri's Design Studio looked back to look ahead, employing tortoise shell trinkets and box-making (made in his father's factory more than 50 years ago), and using the scanned textures of these shells on fabrics and furnishings to shine a light on the forgotten craft. reD Architects's space was for a bold soul, one that compelled people to think beyond typical boundaries. In their booth, the living, dining, bath and bar all lie next to each other, punctuated by statements like a stairway to nowhere. Amit Surve, of Talati & Partners, explored the power of different seatings, creating a cosy home theatre with curated seating pockets for all ages. Khushboo and Kunal Khandelwal's (Studio Design Inc) Shifting Perspectives invited users to step into an art-inspired, immersive foyer full of bold hues (think blacks, whites and vibrant reds) and whimsical silhouettes, while Sanjyt Syngh's signature style of bold forms and evocative hues carried through in his booth. Each thoughtful space served a specific story, giving visitors a chance to not only see the products used in different contexts, but also a peek into the creative geniuses of some of the best design minds in India. Along with this, multimedia art installations, art presentations and live panel discussions added another layer of nuance. In the traditional landscape of design exhibitions, the sole focus and moneymaker remains showcasing products. But Design POV surprises, placing new emphasis on the process of design. It focused on collaboration, experimentation, and narrative, encouraging designers and attendees to see beyond the aesthetic surface and dive into the stories and minds that shape our design. The success of an initiative such as Design POV, from its very first iteration, is a testament to the need for the evolution of design events in India. The writer is an architect-turned-journalist.
