There was a time when unit members, particularly those who are behind the screens, working hard for films were quite glad that they were associated in a film featuring the late actress Soundarya. Despite her stardom and peak status as a busy actress, she was always down to earth. It was said that after the completion of her films in those days, she used to have bundles of 500 or 1000 rupee notes ready and distributed to the unit members, especially the support staff with each getting one or two notes as a kind of gesture.
When Soundarya passed away, many of them had shed tears for such a heartfelt and selfless actress. Now, Mahanati actress Keerthy Suresh seems to be doing the same, as a measure of her generosity and kind-hearted nature. While many actors are focused about extracting favours from the unit of the film they are associated with, Keerthy Suresh has clearly raised her bar and showed her appreciation in a unique way to recognize the hard work of her colleagues.
Recently, sources say that when the shooting for her latest film "Dasara," was being wrapped up on its final day, Keerthy reportedly surprised the entire 130 members of the film unit when she handed over each of them 2-gram gold coins.
They were reportedly worth close to seven lakhs. This is not the first time that Keerthy has done this and even previously she had gifted gold coins to the unit members of "Mahanati". The movie "Dasara" has been created with a big budget of more than 60 crores with Nani as the lead star.
