Aditi Shankar, daughter of the acclaimed filmmaker Shankar, is quickly becoming a subject of considerable interest within the South Indian film industry. Beyond her burgeoning acting career, Aditi has also lent her voice as a playback singer for Telugu films, demonstrating her diverse talents. Her journey into the Telugu film industry marks a significant step, with her recent debut in the upcoming film ‘Bhairavam’.
Aditi frequently visits Hyderabad, often accompanying her father during the shooting of his films. She fondly recounts these experiences, stating that previously she came for her father’s movies, and now she is here for her own. She has openly shared her deep affiliation with the Telugu film industry, expressing genuine excitement about working within its vibrant landscape and connecting with its passionate audience.
During recent interactions, Aditi Shankar confessed her profound admiration for director S.S. Rajamouli and actor Ram Charan. She revealed that ‘Magadheera’ was the very first Telugu film she watched in a theatre, which instantly made her a big fan of both the visionary director and the charismatic actor. Her fondness for these Tollywood stalwarts has become a captivating topic of discussion among cinema enthusiasts, particularly among mega fans.
Despite her illustrious lineage, Aditi has clearly articulated her independent approach to her film career, emphasizing that she makes all her decisions without her father’s direct involvement in her career choices. However, she lightheartedly insists that her father must watch the films she stars in, even humorously adding that she would “fight him” if he didn’t. This playful demand highlights both her determination and the loving bond she shares with her father, showcasing her commitment while still cherishing his approval.
