Naga Chaitanya on His Character in Vrushakarma
“I play Arjun, a treasure hunter. I’ve seen multiple Hollywood references, but only a handful in Indian films. The film is 90% complete, with 10% still pending. That’s why an exact release date isn’t locked yet, but the team is eyeing an August to October window,” revealed Naga Chaitanya while discussing the film.
The actor underwent four months of intensive workshops to master the raw and visceral body language required for the treasure hunter role. The VFX-heavy production also presented unique challenges, with the actor performing extensively against green screens.
