Hyderabad, Jun 14 (IANS): Sai Pallavi's character of Vennela is the focus of the upcoming drama 'Virata Parvam' which is directed by Venu Udugula.

The character of Vennela is based on a woman named Sarala, whose mother gave Sai Pallavi a saree in real life.

The creators of 'Virata Parvam' claim that Sarala, a real-life character, served as the model for the character of Vennela. Sai Pallavi and the 'Virata Parvam' crew recently met Sarala's family in Warangal, and they were welcomed with open arms.
