Ans: Oh ! it was lot of fun. I never felt that i was shooting for a film. We had so much fun on the sets. Kishore is a very talented director and improvises so much on the sets. He is exactly the same to that of his screen image, funny and witty.

Ans: I can’t exactly pinpoint one. The film on the whole will be unique. We have made a simple film with lots of humor. Master Bharat’s performance will stand out in this movie. There are so many hilarious moments in the film and you need to watch Vennala 1 1/2 to know what i am talking about.

11. Your Future projects?

Ans: I am actually working in a film called Kaali Charan. This is a unique and  hard hitting subject based in the 80’s. I am working really hard on this project and feel that it would be my breakthrough role in Tollywood. Let’s hope for the best.
