What was your reaction when you got a call from Rajamouli?
Before I got his call, I had heard rumours about me getting the role. I knew about Eega and the lead role through Suresh Babu.When I got the call from Rajamouli and met him, he narrated the story. Nobody has tried anything like this in Telugu cinema. Eega is a landmark film.I'm happy and lucky to get this opportunity. The narration itself was mind blowing and Rajamouli has taken it to another level with the graphics and the execution. Like any normal movie buff, I want to watch the film.
