Pragya Jaiswal talks about working with Balakrishna twice, addresses age gap: ‘How does it matter?’
Hindustan TimesPragya Jaiswal started the year off with a bang. Daaku Maharaaj was a Sankranthi release that coincided with my birthday, and since then, I’ve been enjoying the love pouring in for the film, especially for my role as Kaveri,” she says. “No one imagined me as a daaku, and now people are calling me daaku maharaani,” she says with glee, adding, “She’s so accomplished, de-glam, hair tied up…it was a different ball game to play Kaveri. I’ve obviously never been a mother, so to imagine what that would be like felt powerful,” says Pragya, adding, “There’s a point in the film where Kaveri has to protect her unborn child yet fight for a cause. She’s fierce and selfless, it speaks to the strength of women in general, and I loved bringing that to life.” Working with Balakrishna twice If Pragya’s Kaveri is the daaku maharaani, Balakrishna’s Sitaram is the titular Daaku Maharaaj of this tale.
