"Back then it wasn’t often that we saw a woman shooter from a village,” Nagesh once said when asked about his inspiration for Good Luck Sakhi. He was referring to a newspaper article that he read on Prakashi and Chandro Tomar some 20 years back. The director kept his dream of pursuing this subject for so many years before deciding to fulfil it with Keerthy Suresh in the lead. Of course, she isn't playing their characters on-screen but simply a woman like them in the field of sharpshooting. The teaser of the movie was unveiled on Independence Day and it gave us a peek into her upcoming sports romedy and it sure looked fun.
