Niharika Konidala fell in love with her character 'Sandhya' in launch pat 'Oka Manasu' so much that she stopped responding whenever someone call her with real name 'Niharika'. During the pre-release interviews, Director Rama Raju shares, 'She wouldn't react whenever I call 'Niha' and responds only when I would call Sandhya. That shows how much she got connected to the character,' he says.
