I have strong confidence in it," she stated, highlighting the film's entertainment quotient and comedy elements that she believes will connect with audiences across all demographics.

Perhaps the most striking revelation was her decision to continue shooting after learning about her pregnancy. "During the shoot, I found out that I was pregnant. However, with the team's support, I completed the shoot smoothly," Lavanya explained. The dedication required daily hospital visits for check-ups after shooting schedules, showcasing her commitment to both her craft and her health.

Interestingly, Lavanya had to tackle action sequences for the first time in her career, including a challenging kicking scene that proved physically demanding given her condition.

"The entertainment in the movie is amazing, and everyone will enjoy the comedy," she noted, while also praising the emotional depth and meaningful message that doesn't feel preachy.

Directed by Tatineni Satya and produced by Naagamohan under Durgadevi Pictures banner, Sathi Leelavathi co-stars Dev Mohan and is set for a worldwide release on May 8. The film has already garnered support from the mega family, with Ram Charan releasing the trailer, adding to the project's growing buzz.

Looking ahead, Lavanya acknowledged that this experience has taught her valuable lessons about balancing motherhood and career, stating she would definitely take breaks from shooting in future pregnancies. Her journey with Sathi Leelavathi stands as a testament to her professionalism and the supportive nature of the Telugu film industry.
