Dulquer Salmaan ’s upcoming Telugu film ' Aakasamlo Oka Tara ' has enjoyed a low-key wave of positive anticipation ever since the movie’s teaser gave little hints of a heartwarming and breezy storyteller set against the backdrop of rural India. With Pavan Sadineni as director, the film places a starry-eyed, naive girl with no aspirations beyond her village at its center, with the now-debuting Satvika Veeravalli playing the leading role. Dulquer Salmaan adds his own pan-Indian superstar touch to it, but the leading story terms of mentorship, striving, and dreams have been topping the bill and are being hailed as a delightful feel-good movie. The buzz around the film took a fresh turn recently, with the makers unveiling Shruti Haasan ’s first look from the film, instantly shifting the spotlight.

Shruti Haasan’s striking first look

Shruti Haasan’s first look posters released on her birthday show her as a bold pioneering scientific teacher; casting a semi-dictatorial glare, albeit with a rebel tinge. Clad in a serious avatar complete with spectacles and a penetrating gaze, Shrutis raises a quizzical brow with an all-too-inquisitive expression. Messy hair coupled with assertive body language only spells out an extremely opinionated lady who, though abrasive, doesn’t have to be so loud just to be heard. She is surrounded by smoke in one of the images, only portraying a plethora of shades and a lived-in life. The image is devoid of plasticity and brings forth her character as an extremely opinionated woman.
