Renowned makeup artist Kadali Chakravarthy (Chakri), who has worked extensively with leading actresses from Tollywood to Bollywood, has inaugurated his new venture “Second Skin Makeup Studio & Academy” in Hyderabad. The grand opening ceremony was held at Panjagutta, Hyderabad, and was formally inaugurated by popular actress Rakul Preet Singh.
Kadali Chakravarthy is a well-known name in the film industry, having worked as a makeup artist for several top heroines including Rakul Preet Singh, Tamannaah and others across various films. Fulfilling his long-cherished dream, Chakri has now launched his own makeup studio and academy to groom and train aspiring makeup professionals with industry-level expertise.
Speaking on the occasion, Rakul Preet Singh said,
“I am extremely happy to be here today. Chakri is like a brother to me and has been associated with me for many years. From my very first film, he has been my makeup artist for almost eight years. Opening his own ‘Second Skin Makeup Studio & Academy’ has always been his dream, and today that dream has come true. I sincerely wish that he expands this academy with many more branches in the future.
Chakri played a key role in helping me understand and speak Telugu fluently. His deep knowledge and passion for makeup will surely take him to greater heights.”
Responding to media questions, Rakul Preet Singh added,
“Since I haven’t been doing Telugu films recently, I truly miss Telugu cinema and the Telugu audience. My first success came from Telugu films, and the love I received here is very special to me. I am listening to stories and waiting for a strong script. I sincerely hope my fans pray for a good Telugu story to come my way. I would love to shoot and stay in Hyderabad again.
I dream of doing a grand film like Baahubali in Telugu. I have earlier worked in two films under the direction of Boyapati Srinu garu, whose mass direction I really admire. I congratulate Boyapati Srinu garu and Balakrishna garu on the success of Akhanda Taandavam.”
Expressing his gratitude, Kadali Chakravarthy (Chakri) said,
“I sincerely thank everyone who attended this event. Many people help us in life, but Rakul Preet Singh garu always stands a step ahead in extending her support. Even after ten years, she remains the same warm and grounded person. She treats everyone she works with like family and never changes her staff.
I have worked as her makeup artist for all her Tollywood films. When I shared my dream of starting my own makeup studio and academy, she wholeheartedly supported and encouraged me. Her presence today means a lot to me, and I once again extend my special thanks to Rakul Preet Singh garu.”
The Second Skin Makeup Studio & Academy has been newly launched at Esteem Diamond, Hindi Nagar, Dwarakapuri, Panjagutta, Hyderabad, and aims to provide professional makeup services along with high-quality training for aspiring artists.
