When Nag felt like a king
'I really feel like a king, said versatile actor Nagarjuna at a press briefing about the success of his movie 'Dhamarukam' in Hyderabad. The film released last Friday.
He added, 'Though the release of the film was postponed twice, I'm glad that media didn't cook up false stories or spread rumours about the film. We jointly overcame the hurdles and finally bagged success.
However, the pirated version of the film went viral. Since it is a graphical extravaganza, I advise the audience to watch the film on silver screen. Please inform about the movie pirates to antipiracy@nagfans.com.'
Sultry siren Anushka Shetty, who was clad in a white salwar kameez and a blushing pink dupatta, sizzled at the do. She said, 'Right from my childhood, I'm a staunch devotee of lord Shiva.
Therefore, I thoroughly enjoyed working for this film. But, I got scared during the scenes with Andhakasura (essayed by Ravi Shankar). It was not the case with Pasupathi in 'Arundhati' (smiles).'
Cinematographer Chota K Naidu said, 'Though I worked under veteran Dasari Narayana Rao for seven years, he never heaped praises on me. But after watching 'Dhamarukam', he invited me to his home for a meal and appreciated my work.'
Dubbing artiste-turned- actor Ravi Shankar, who enthralled all by essaying Andhakasura in the film, said, 'I've been waiting to explore my acting skills since longtime.
Though I'm a successful dubbing artiste, I never got a right opportunity to prove myself as an actor. The film has certainly changed my life and it is a right platform for me.'
Director Srinivas Reddy, producer Atchi Reddy, actors Krishna Bhagavan, Jeeva, lyricist Jonnavittula and other cast and crew of the film were also present at the event.
