It happened to me by accident. I completed my studies (B.tech in computer) and want to continue my master studies in business administration. I always dreamed of being in IITs and IIMs and so while preparing for MBA, one of my professors suggested that if I had work experience, MBA studies would be more purposeful and hence I got into MNCs. In college, I was recruited but it wasn’t something I saw myself doing. I want to be an entrepreneur.”
- Gnaneswari credits her mother for turning her into a courageous woman. She appreciated her mother in an interview and said that she would encourage her to sing and dance in social gatherings because of which she was never shy.

- While Gnaneswari was studying in college, she set up a restaurant in Vizag.
I hope people start to like what I do too. The restaurant did well and I became very famous in my college and town. I am also only 19 years old doing this with support from my father. My sister, an advocate, also chimed in. At this time, one of my friends wanted me to make a short film and I couldn’t say no. I did it for him, we shot it for six hours and people loved it. It reaches a lot of people.”

I appeared for the CAT exam and the results were not encouraging, I felt very little short of marks. I have one more long year to give my exams again and meanwhile many people are asking me to act in a web series. I thought I would give it a try and in the remaining months I would use it to study. The web series will end in 20 days and it will last for 3 months. I worked in reality shows too and it gave me name, fame. I was also a part of the demo film and the director wanted to make the demo film a feature film. There were some romantic scenes that I thought couldn’t be done. Then I said yes after a long wait and it was removed. Now it’s on Amazon Prime and then I got into Senapathi.”
- After Mr and Miss, Gnaneswari did Maya-lo which was in post-production when Senapati was offered to her.
- Gnaneswari did not watch movies in her childhood. While talking about the OTT platform in an interview, he said,
For me it was completely new and for someone who never watched movies in childhood..this was a blessing. During the pandemic, OTT came out with amazing cinema, world cinema. There is no hero or heroine and we cannot deceive the audience about the box office numbers. OTT has standards, it has quality, scripts and acting. It’s a big thing and opens doors for a lot of ambitious people and I still feel bad for those who look down on OTT. No one imagined an epidemic like this would change things. It provides a better viewing experience. A big screen is always a big screen. Nothing can beat him. Enjoying a movie with a crowd is different but hanging out with your family and moving on to something that doesn’t suit your interests works for a lot of people.”
- He had talked about how he was offered the role of Satya in the Tamil film Senapathi (2021) and said the executive producer randomly called him one day while talking about his journey.
Everyone is suddenly talking about Senapathi. Pavan’s confidence is great. The executive producer randomly called and said it would be great if I sent a video. The director called me to the office and told me about the original Tamil film. He made many changes and gave a brief overview of the characters. The magic begins when we start shooting. It was already a hit film in Tamil, but when it started, the director’s confidence in the making was great. He keeps the audience engaged. He initially told me to watch a Tamil film and briefed me, saying that in the original – the heroine did not have much to play, here we increased the journey with the actress. In the second half, there were only two periods. To be honest, the story didn’t ask for my presence.”
