‘Music School’ is a slice of life drama revolving around a theatre teacher and music teacher, trying to put together a stage musical based on ‘The Sound of Music’, helmed by former Ias officer and National Award-winning filmmaker Papa Rao Biyyala, marking his full-length feature directorial debut.
The movie opens with a theatre teacher struggling to make his presence count, while other streams take up all the space, students and credit.
Painting, music, theatre, poetry, and such soulful and nourishing creative streams are often sidelined as there is unprecedented academic pressure on students to score good grades, and find a place in reputed professional colleges. But nourishment of the soul is most important; there is nothing worse than the broken spirit of a child.
Shriya Saran (Maria), a music teacher from Goa, joins the school, only to face the same disdain and struggle that Sharman Joshi’s character (drama teacher Manoj) has to contend with.

Actress Gracy Goswami, who is part of the show "Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye", says that she still finds her character Amrit challenging to play. However, the actress adds that with time, playing your character becomes like a "parallel life" for you and you are able to essay it well.
"Every character is intricate and challenging in the initial stages of a show. But once you completely embrace it and let it become your second skin, it is like having parallel life entirely. For me, Amrit is still challenging as from 1947 till 1951 my character holds a lot of emotions," she says.
"While playing a role as Amrit for 12 hours become hectic sometimes for me. Along with that I also have to manage my studies but I'm working hard towards owning her role completely."
Meanwhile, the show is in for a lot of twists and turns and the actress hopes that people enjoy it.
