An effective portrayal

Parul Yadav has been busy shuttling between Mumbai and Bengaluru. Her latest release ‘Vaastu Prakaara’ will see her playing a colourful and loud character.

 She dons the role of a shrewd lawyer in the film. The character is not only entertaining but sends out a message that women also have it in them to be successful and on par with men. “I play the role of a lawyer who also happens to be a feminist. She not only fights for the rights of women but also protests against the atrocities against them,” explains Parul.

Parul is pitched opposite senior actor Jaggesh and Rakshith. “I work as Jaggesh’s junior lawyer in the film but he and I don’t get along. So, I end up filing a lot of false cases against him. It’s my way of getting back at him. My character requires that I scream, shout and be as rude as I can to Jaggesh. I must say that Jaggesh has been extremely tolerant and supportive,” reasons Parul.

She describes the experience of shooting for ‘Vaastu Prakaara’ and working with director Yogaraj Bhat as “rewarding.” She adds, “My character has so much fighting and screaming to do. Yogaraj couldn’t help but tell me that people would either love the character or totally hate it. Such was the impact,” she shares.

   Parul has a lot of releases slated this year and she says that she has taken her time to choose her projects. “I realised that it pays to be choosy but not extra choosy because sometimes it can go against you. I realised that not all sensible films have a commercial appeal and not all commercial films are sensible. I try to strike a balance between the two,” she adds.

She also essays a prominent role in Upendra’s directorial  ‘Uppi 2.’ “I play a Brahmin girl but it’s a two-shaded character. I can’t reveal too much about the film but it’s been quite exhausting to portray both the characters in a strong way,” she says. Parul also has a solo song in another project titled ‘Aatagara’.
