In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Sanskruti revealed, “I was deep into Satyabhama’s world that it was difficult to step out of it. To be able to tell her story was a massive responsibility. People know stories of Krishna, Radha and Rukmini, but she was also one of the Ashtabharya (eight queens) of Krishna. Each kind of love is beautiful, even though this one was flawed and eventually became unconditional. Her story is special.”

Sanskruti Jayana's words of gratitude

Talking about getting emotional at the temple, Jayana added, “When I went to Dwarkadhish Temple, it was an otherworldly experience for me. I was a spiritual and religious person, but not that much. During this process, I became all of them because I lived an experience that was beyond everything. When I went to Satyabhama’s temple, I thanked her for choosing me to play her. I prayed that we do justice to the story. That was it. That was something I can never express in words.”

What is Krishnavataram: Hridayam all about

Krishnavataram also stars Siddharth Gupta as Krishna, Sushmita Bhatt as Radha and Nivaashiyni Krishnan as Rukmini. The film is a ‘mythological narrative that reimagines the journey of Lord Krishna, tracing his path from Dwarka to Kurukshetra after parting ways with Radha. As his journey unfolds, it explores his connection with people, his layered personality, and the lessons he imparts about love and life.’
