Venkatesh who is getting ready for the release of his next film Narappa addressed the media at Ramanaidu Studios earlier today. A remake of Tamil action entertainer Asuran, Narappa is being directed by Srikanth Addala and also features Priyamani, Rajeev Kanakala, and Karthik Ratnam in key roles. The film will be released directly on OTT and Venkatesh spoke to the media on various issues around the film, its release and his experience working in it.
“Asuran is one of the best films I have ever watched. I have never come across such a hard-hitting emotional drama in my life. It was my instinct that has made me say yes to this film. While many think that remakes are easy to work in, but recreating the world of Asuran was really difficult.”, said the actor
He further added that playing Narappa was extremely challenging and easily the toughest of his career. “Narappa is the most challenging character I have ever played in my career. The film showcases a bundle of emotions and I worked really hard to get these things right. I would say this character, literally, tested me a lot and I really enjoyed portraying it. “
“As for the preparation, I never detached from the character. Even after pack up, I chose to remain in the same costume to not get myself emotionally disconnected from this role. I would say it was exhausting to portray this motley of emotions in the film. It’s really refreshing to portray a strong character after many years,” he stated.
