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

This Kashmiri Singer Is Behind Saiyaara's Soul-Stirring Title Track
1/10 While most of the songs in Saiyaara have been sung by Vishal Mishra and composed by Tanishk Bagchi, the film boasts brand new vocals from Faheem Abdullah. The title track has been composed by Faheem and his longtime collaborator, Arslan Nizami. (Image: Instagram) Faheem Abdullah is a Kashmiri artist. He was widely known as The Imaginary Poet by his stage name, an identity he got rid of earlier this year. (Image: Instagram) Faheem and Arslan pooled in their savings to try their luck in Mumbai, with enough money for just two weeks. "We realised that we had enough money for 14 days in Mumbai. So we gave themselves those 14 days in the city," stated Faheem to HT during an interview. As luck would have it, they met Tanishk Bagchi on the 13th day of their stay, and the rest is history. (Image: Instagram) Faheem Abdullah has over over 120,000 followers on Instagram (as of, July 23). On Spotify, he has close to 2 crore monthly listeners. (Image: Instagram) But prior to hitting jackpot with Saiyaara, Faheem found a loyal base with his single Single, one of the most popular music sensations that went viral on Instagram in 2024. (Image: Instagram) "Thanks to Almighty for making us all feel what we have felt in our lives, it sure did shape us as artists and made us make what we have made with utmost passion, love, care and madness. Having grown up watching his films and listening to his film music and now having co sung and co composed the title track for his latest, I am indebted to @mohitsuri for the trust, love, comfort and the shared pain. Saiyaara would mean nothing without @arslannizaami," Faheem wrote on Instagram. (Image: Instagram)
