Sanskruti’s entry into cinema has been a deeply personal and spiritual journey. In Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart, she plays Satyabhama -not just as a character, but as the emotional and narrative anchor of the story. The film explores the life of Lord Krishna through her lens, bringing forward lesser-known stories of love, strength and inner transformation. In the movie, Siddharth Gupta plays the divine Lord Krishna, Sushmitha Bhat features as Radha and Nivaashiyni Krishnan essays Rukmini. Krishnavataram Part 1 is directed by Hardik Gajjar and arrives in cinema halls on May 7.
