At the trailer launch of the Telugu romantic thriller 'Ugly Story', actress Avika Gor revealed her discomfort during filming, particularly in scenes with co-star Nandu. She stated, 'For the first time in my career, I was uncomfortable on a set,' explaining that the character's emotional turmoil affected her. Nandu, initially surprised, felt relieved when he realized her comments were about their characters rather than him personally. The film, directed by Pranava Swaroop, explores the darker aspects of love, including manipulation and gaslighting, aiming to provide a reality check to audiences. Avika emphasized the importance of addressing such serious themes in cinema, stating, 'It's high time we started making films giving reality check to the audience.' The film is set to hit theaters worldwide on May 22 and features notable performances and production quality.
