One evening, a decade after her last Telugu film, Genelia sat in her Mumbai living room. Her phone buzzed. A script. A Telugu film called Sita .
Genelia D’Souza had been a star in Bollywood for years, but it was her leap into Telugu cinema that truly felt like coming home. Not to a place she had known before, but to a rhythm her heart had always been searching for.
