No starry airs for Sunaina

Actors are typically assisted by staff in handling their belongings when moving between shooting locations, and production departments usually arrange for such help. But actress Sunaina chooses not to follow the norm.    

The actress, who is awaiting the release of her first female-centric thriller, Regina, displays an admirable work ethic, going by a photo showing her lugging a large bag on her shoulder as she climbs up a hill (see picture).

The photo released by the makers of Regina is winning a lot of praise from netizens.

Giving the background, producer/music composer Satish Nair explains, "Our story required us to film critical scenes in the mountainous areas of Thodupuzha in Kerala. Due to lack of road accessibility, we had to manually carry all heavy equipment uphill over several kilometres to reach the desired location. While assistance was offered, Sunaina chose to carry her belongings herself, walking alongside the crew without any complaints."  

Regina, helmed by director Domin D’Silva, will hit theatres in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada on June 23.
