<p>Duniya Vijay-starrer Bheema Theeradali, that hit the screen on Friday, draws its inspiration from a real life incident.</p>.<p>The story traces the life of a rowdy sheeter who fights a lone battle to save his villagers from unscrupulous landlords. The film also has Pranitha, who plays Vijay’s love interest, and debutant Prajwal Poovaiah.<br /><br />Vijay, who plays the lead, says that he has put in a lot of hard work to make the character appear as real and natural as possible. “It’s a true story so I did a bit of homework to get into the skin of the character. I researched the character and I understand that he was basically a good man but circumstances forced him to turn criminal. I don’t think it’s right to label anybody as a criminal,” Vijay tells Metrolife.<br /><br />Vijay adds that he had to polish his accent to get the perfect North Karnataka style of speaking and his mannerisms had to be perfect. “There’s no make-up. I worked a great deal on my expressions,” he explains. <br /><br />But Vijay says he doesn’t want to jump to any conclusions as to how the movie will do, and prefers to wait for people’s feedback. <br /><br />Pranitha, a who plays the female lead, feels her character was quite challenging. “There is a scene in the movie where I had to wear a sari and jump onto a running horse. That scene was quite tough but I managed to get it right in the first take. A lot of the scenes were shot in dense forests and the situations we shot in were pretty tough,” says Pranitha, who plays a rich spoilt NRI kid who visits her native village and sympathises with the villagers when she sees how they are being exploited. <br /><br />“I play Vijay’s love interest and fall in sync with him when I see that he struggles for justice for the people of his village. My family, who are landlords, contribute to the villager’s misery and I end up taking the villager’s side,” she adds. <br /><br />This is Prajwal Poovaiah’s first ever release in any language. “It’s unfortunate that I am not in Bangalore for my very first release because I am stuck shooting in Chennai. But I am thrilled and excited about having got a chance to work with so many senior actors. Working with Vijay was a learning experience,” she observes and adds that she hopes to take up more projects in the Kannada film industry. The film is directed by Om Prakash Rao. <br /></p>
