Yash said Geetu, who comes across as strict but is jovial, created an atmosphere on set that challenged him as an actor. He credited her with helping him learn English lines and explore a character unlike any he had played before. Women directors remain rare in collaborations with A-list stars across Telugu, Tamil and Kannada cinema. Yash is among the few Kannada A-listers to have worked with a woman director, and he said he needed to thank Geetu for pushing him to evolve as a performer. ## Coverage - deccanchronicle.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
