It feels like I’m a newcomer, as coming back to sets after ages and working with this young team,” she concluded.
Genelia also announced her comeback in an Instagram post. She wrote, “And today marks my re-entry into south films, a place I call home away from home. Thank you so much Sai Korrapati Ji, Radhakrishna Reddyji for thinking of me for this special part. I wish you all the best Kireeti on your debut and am happy to be part of your debut film.”
