Acting with Balayya means luck:
I was lucky to act with the legendary actor Nandamuri Balakrishna. At first I felt very nervous. But he guided with care. Treated like a family member. His energy is unstoppable. Harshali said that working with him on the set was a great experience.
Direction by Boyapati Srinu is amazing:
Talking about Boyapati, he is a very caring director. If I was feeling nervous, they would encourage me, ‘You’ll get it’. Applaud after the scene is over. His energy enhanced my performance. He said that I felt lucky that I was chosen for the role of Janani.
Challenges faced in shooting:
Shooting in minus degrees seemed very difficult. Working in such locations is really challenging. I also did some action stunts in this movie. Harshali said that experience was very special.

Not only Bollywood, but also Tollywood has a special connection:
I am very happy that the second film is a Telugu film. She said that working with Balakrishna was a wonderful experience. Talking about his favorite stars in Telugu.. Balakrishna, Allu Arjun and Prabhas are my favorite.
Memories with Salman Khan:
There were many fun moments with Salman Khan during Bajrangi Bhaijaan. We used to play table tennis. It was also a lot of fun with Balakrishna. But I don’t like the potion he gives for energy.. because I don’t like ginger, he said with a smile.
Future Goals:
My dream is to act in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film. His heroines are very graceful. I want to do all kinds of genres in my career. Harshali revealed that she wanted to do challenging roles.
