Drama is a mimic of real life said Aristotle and so is cinema! The reel life is inspired mostly by real life be it the story or actors. Here is another character of a star hero inspired by one of his game show contestants. The dressing, action and the characteristics of one of Nagarjuna’s role in his upcoming Soggade Chinni Nayana was inspired by his Game show Meelo Evaru koteeshwarudu Contestant Acharya Umakanth.
Remember Acharya Umakanth from second season of Meelo Evaru Kotteshwarudu? His intelligence was astounding. Not only did he know all the answers to the questions asked in the show but he knew the history, biography and chronology of everything and could answer them all without choices.
Nagrjuna and the whole of Andhra Pradesh were awestruck by his knowledge, humbleness and simplicity, Now he is the inspiration to Ramu’s role by Nagarjuna in SCN. The innocent tech savy Nag seen in plain shirts neatly tucked in, is a character emulating Acharya Umakanth revealed Nag.
