Surprisingly I am not nervous says the handsome Varun Tej. He expresses his thoughts on his first day of shoot, his colleague Nikitin Dheer who played the antagonist and finally stresses that this film will reach all segments of the audience. “You are playing the new character, you don’t know what meter the director wants you in, till 4 pm I wasn’t called for the shot. I was in the caravan. The shot on Pragya and Singeetam Sreenivasa Rao was going on. The puja took place in the morning. I had the confidence I could pull it off. The believability quotient worked for me a lot, especially in Georgia, I did feel I was in a war zone. With Nikitin on a personal level we are good friends, he calls me bro. I had really good company in Georgia. I always wondered and behind Krish’s life to find out who would be doing the villain’s role. Intha stand out ayye character ee madhyana raledhu. Finally we locked Nikitin, he did Chennai Express, Jodha Gabbar, he is a known name in Bollywood. My dad said if someone short fought with you, it wouldn’t have looked good on screen, but it was awesome to see him be of the same height. My sister too when she saw the trailer, was quite blown away with his look and performance. In a couple of scenes he amazed me…especially his work in the climax is amazing. This film is definitely not a multiplex film alone. This has a story that will connect with all. There is a village part, a military part was shown in an easy part. This is a small story that happens there, Varun does not go and kill Adolf Hitler. It is a universal subject and sure all will like it.”
