'Sriya Has Been Training Extensively In Kalaripayattu for Mahakali,' Reveals A Source.
The first glimpse of the upcoming film Mahakali was unveiled recently, and Sriya Reddy has emerged as one of the biggest talking points from the glimpse. The actor’s powerful appearance as Kali, marked by an intense screen presence and commanding persona, has been widely noticed and loved by audiences.

A source close to the production speaks to Variety India about Reddy’s character, saying, “After ‘Salaar’ and ‘OG,’ audiences know the intensity Sriya Reddy brings to every role. But Mahakali is something else altogether. While Akshaye Khanna’s Shukracharya is intriguing, Sriya as Mahakali has truly nailed her performance.“

The source further reveals the extent of preparation that went into bringing the character to life. “She has been training extensively in Kalaripayattu for over a year for her fight sequences. Shriya never fails to surprise, and Mahakali may just take that to another level,' the source adds.

It has been revealed that the actor underwent training for over 2 years to do justice to her character. With martial artist Akshay Sekhar joining in as the trainer, the long prep took place in Reddy's hometown of Chennai.

The dedication behind the role is already visible in the first glimpse, where Sriya commands attention as Kali. Coming after her intense performances in Salaar, Suzhal and OG, Mahakali appears to showcase yet another striking side of the actor, with the glimpse offering only a brief look at what she has brought to the character.

Mahakali is scheduled to hit cinemas on January 8, 2027.
