The actress, who hails from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, has featured in many TV shows like "Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera", "Bigg Boss" and "Qubool Hai". Last year, she made a double debut in Bollywood with "FryDay" and "Jalebi".
But working on the Telugu language romantic comedy film was "very new" for her.
"I felt like I was starting from scratch just because of the language. As an actor, I cannot connect with the role if I don't get my lines right. But I am not a prompting person. I cannot take prompting. I feel like I am doing my job half-heartedly," Digangana told in a telephonic interview.
"Forget about satisfying the director or the audience, I probably wouldn't be able to even satisfy myself. It is a film where the guy (played by actor Kartikeya Gummakonda) and the girl are very equal. The dialogues are huge lines.
"But not once I took to prompting or said 'let's do this in bits and pieces."
To understand her lines better, she attended a workshop that lasted for about five to six days.
"We did lines. I also sat down with my director. I can't say something and not mean it," she shared.
She said "Hippi" had come to her at the right time.
"I was looking for something that was content-oriented. I am proud to introduce it to people. I learnt bike riding for this film and so many other things," said the "Rangeela Raja" actress.
Talking about the film's content, she shared: "It's a love story set in today's day and age. It's a take on live-in relationship as well, but it's not an out and out live-in relationship story. It's a process of two different people coming together."
