Esther Anil’s recent comments have gone viral. In an interview with Ginger Media, the ‘Drishyam 3’ actor spoke about a memorable police station scene from the first film.He revealed that recreating that moment was difficult in the Telugu remake.Explaining the moment, Esther said: “In the interrogation scene, there’s a moment where Sahadevan comes and kicks him. His children and wife are standing there, upset. After he’s kicked, he looks at them and gives them a little smile, as if to say that everything is okay. It was heartbreaking, it was a very emotional shot. Not much happens.”He further said, “The reason I remember it so clearly is because we recreated the same scene in Telugu. It was directed by Sripriya garu. They explained the shot to Uncle Venky – he hits her, and then he turns around and smiles. At that point, Uncle Venky said, ‘Amma, I can’t do that. Only Mohanlal can do that.”
