Actress Priya, known for her role as Girija in the movie Bheema, plays a key role in the film Custody.
The film is being produced by Nagesh Kumar US and directed by J.J. Srinivas, with intense filming currently underway. Under the banner of Brindavan Enterprises, Priya, who captivated audiences with her portrayal of Girija in Bheema, is playing a significant role in Custody. The shoot is taking place at the Torino Factory in the city, and the film team had organized a press meet to share more details.
“I have produced four films, including Gajanana Gang, under our production house. Custody is our fifth film. My friend J.J. Srinivas narrated the story, and I liked it. He suggested that Priya, known for her role in Bheema, would be perfect for the lead role. Priya’s husband, Avinash, is a friend of mine, and through him, I contacted Priya to narrate the story. Within a few days, we started the film, and the shooting is progressing rapidly,” said producer Nagesh Kumar US.
Director J.J. Srinivas, speaking about the film, said, “Custody is a story centered on cybercrime. The plot revolves around mobile phones, which are used by everyone from children to the elderly. Though there have been many films about cybercrime, this story is a bit different. The script was ready a year ago, and when we were looking for someone to play the role of a tough police officer, we thought Priya, known for Bheema, would be ideal for the part. After hearing the story, she agreed, and we started filming in just a few days. Now, the film is in its final stages of shooting. Actor Cockroach Sudhi also plays a major role in the film, and I am acting in addition to directing,” he said.
Actress Priya expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for the love you all showed for my character Girija in Bheema. In this film too, I play a strict police officer named Durgaparameshwari. The director has crafted a good story that delivers a positive message to society. The main reason I accepted this film is because of the story and producer Nagesh Kumar. He has greatly helped many theater artists during my theater days, and I owe him a debt of gratitude. Custody is the first film I’m acting in after Bheema,” Priya said.
Actors Nagendra Aras, Chingari Mahadev, Magic Ramesh, Madhu KR Pete, Pawan Kumar, Aradhya, Kumar Srinivasamurthy, Vinya, Ashwita, Aradhya, Tejaswini, cinematographer Shankar, and stunt director Narasimha also spoke about Custody.
