I think I saw a bit of Varsham on TV. I saw Okkadu and Pokiri when I started to work in Athidhi.

How was the experience of acting in a Telugu film?

I was destined to be a part of the film. It maybe my ignorance but I had no idea of Mahesh Babu's popularity or acting credentials, and didn't know how big he was earlier. I think I landed myself in the biggest project in this side of the planet. It was fantastic. It was fun to work in Athidhi.

Where did you shoot?

We shot in Delhi, Hyderabad, Dubai and Austria. One song was shot in Graz (Austria), the other in Dubai.

I was very enamoured and impressed by the Ramoji Film City (RFC) in Hyderabad and I think that the Film City in Mumbai should have the infrastructure like it. The RFC reminded me of Universal Studios which I have seen. I'm happy someone has done something like that in Hyderabad. I feel the Government in Maharashtra should also help the Film City to achieve something like that.
