Pretty actress Keerthy Suresh has pinned all her hopes on the much awaited Summer release Mahanati, a biopic which chronicles the life of iconic yesteryear actress Savitri.

Mahanati is a crucial film for Keerthy Suresh as she is eyeing a spot among top league actresses after its release. Current generation star heroines like Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh etc are no longer preferred by filmmakers of big ticket films. Happening beauties like Pooja Hegde, Kiara Advani and Anu Emanuel are now ruling the roost at present with plump offers behind star heroes.

Keerthi Suresh, who set sights on becoming the most sought after actress with Nenu Shailaja and MCA, received a huge jolt to her career after the debacle of Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyathavaasi. She hasn’t been approached for any big ticket film barring Mahanati.

So, she would be hoping that the success of Mahanati catapults her star status into the top tier of actresses in South.

She has already grabbed the eyeballs with her uncanny resemblance to Savitri in the teasers and trailers. The expectations are so high on Keerthi Suresh’s character and screen presence. If she manages to come out with distinction with this character, no doubt it will be a game changer for her career in South.

Mahanati is set to hit the screens on May 9th worldwide.
