The actor has gone out of his way to deliver the role and had to get bald for a very important scene.
Talking about the same, he said: “So when I was told about the role, I was told to see the part of ‘Ashok’ which in 2005 was the iconic S. S. Rajamouli Villain of this cult Telugu film called Chatrapathi. There was a scene in which he gets punished and his head is shaved in front thousands of people.
“I initially assumed there must be a wig or some camera angle would be used but the scene required me to get bald for real and that too we cannot do any retakes “.
He further continued: “But now when I look back at some of the scenes we shot, I feel that all the Blood, Sweat and Hair (literally) that I gave were worth it. I am grateful that my effort left an impact and has resulted well!”
