District Collector Pamela Satpathy lent her voice to a Telugu song celebrating the girl child, released during an event marking International Girl Child Day in Karimnagar. The song was performed by Satpathy and accompanied by a dance from primary school students.
"'Khaali Peeli' gave me a character that resonates with me on a personal level. Pooja is carefree, funny, and independent as she fends for herself and alters the world she wishes to live in. I'd like to believe I see a little of me in her," Ananya said.
"Khaali Peeli" is directed by Maqbool Khan and also features Jaideep Ahlawat, Satish Kaushik, Swanand Kirkire and Anup Soni. The film releases on Zee5.
