Tellychakkar recently got in touch with the actor and got to know interesting insights.
What do you expect from your character?

What do you feel about the type of content being made these days?
“Well, I believe the times have changed. It's an exciting time to be an actor because the era of slots is coming to an end. I believe it all comes down to how interesting the character and offers are, regardless of whether it is a film or the OTT.”
You've been a part of a few films as well. Do you wish to explore the big screen or OTT?
