Keerthy Suresh understands and speaks Telugu. However, she is not so fluent that she can understand every conceivable accent and slang.
It's no surprise that when director Srikanth Odela first tried to tell her the story of "Dasara," she didn't understand a single thing he was saying.
As part of the promotion for "Dasara," Nani revealed the details of this incident.
After spending three hours explaining the movie's plot to Keerthy Suresh, Srikanth Odela's dialect was still incomprehensible to her.
A full month after the initial narration, Nani found out that Keerthy had trouble following along with the script. He asked for her opinion, and she admitted that she couldn't understand Srikanth's Telangana dialect.
So, he went out and found a translator for her. Afterward, she fell in love with the story and came on board.
