I got emotional while shooting: Sushant

Actor Sushath, who is back in action after a three-year-break with Aatadukundam Raa, appears very confident. “I am playing an NRI in this entertainer. When writer Sridhar Seepana narrated the story, I ended up laughing non-stop. I am confident that everyone will enjoy the film,” says Sushanth.

The actor added that it felt great to work with senior actors like Brahmanandam, Posani Krishna Murali and Prudhvi. “All the comedy scenes are hilarious and shooting was a lot of fun,” he recalls.

Asked about his cousin Naga Chaitanya’s cameo, he says that the idea was there from the start. “We just waited for some time before roping him in. When we felt that the output was good, I called Chaitanya and requested him to play this part, which brings about a big twist in the story,” Sushanth reveals.

He is also happy to have Akhil on board. “I couldn’t act in Manam, but now I am acting with both Akhil and Chaitanya. When Akhil himself expressed his willingness to act in a song, I was so excited; his dance moves are amazing,”

Sushanth says, adding it is a movie with less dialogues and a few emotional scenes. Sushant has an emotional attachment with the movie as it featured a remix song, which is one of the hit numbers of his grandfather, the late Akkineni Nageswara Rao.

“While I was shooting for this song, I felt a bit emotional as it was an old classic song of thathayya. However, we didn’t use the full song and have taken the first few lines,” he says.The movie, which revolves around a time machine, is directed by Nageshwar Reddy.
