‘I was shocked looking at my performance. I can’t believe that there is a hidden actor of this kind in myself. I can easily award 10 out of 10 marks for the way I’ve balanced heroism in ‘Nandiswarudu’ character which actually inspired me in doing the film. For the first time, I am doing a full fledged and a matured mass role. Although this is a remake of Kannada hit ‘Deadly Soma,’ nearly 80% of the script is prepared on sole by director Srinivas.
Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh are different level heroes. My film ‘Nandiswarudu’ is not at all a competitor to ‘Businessman’ and ‘Bodyguard.’ I am fully satisfied with Sankranti release of my movie.’
