Sasha, who originally belongs to Dehradun, , “ hanging upside down was a tough test for me. It was required for my solo-heroine journalist character ‘Jhaansi’ who is kidnapped and tortured by the villains. Director Madhav-Sir was professional yet caring and had told me about this difficult scene, before he even signed me for this movie. For me it was a golden opportunity to step out of my good-looks comfort zone and perform in a sober,intense and de-glam and enact challenging dramatic, tough scenes and action-fight scenes in bilingual movie ‘Prestitute’, while playing a lead-role of a daring news-media-journalist. Although there was a minor accident during the shoot, where I was lying on the floor, a large ‘cut-out’ fell on my face, and could have badly damaged my eye. But luckily that did not happen, it missed my eyes, but I did have a minor injury on my face above my nose. The entire crew and the director gave me full caring support all through the shooting of ‘Prestitute.,’ ‘ smiles exuberant Sasha who has acted earlier in Telugu regional movies like Operation Gold Fish and in Radhe Shyam where in a parallel secondary role hero Prabhas was her co-star.

When asked, debutant director Madhav Kodad disclosed that his film ‘Prestitute’ “has a bold, controversial, touchy daring subject of how In the Indian scenario a certain section of dishonest, corrupt ‘bikaau’ journalists compromise on editorial ethics and publish or telecast misleading news. It is inspired by and also based on authentic realistic happenings and incidents.. At the same time it is a gripping slick political-crime-action thriller-entertainer which Pan-India Hindi and Telugu audiences will fully enjoy,” assures Madhav.
