I think Shekhar is one such film that will appeal to all kinds of audiences. So to bring them to the theatres, we should offer something new and special. The audience has become wiser and their tastes were refined after the pandemic. Thankfully, I have recovered and completed the film with renewed energy,” he explains, adding, “Our team had extensive discussions before commencing the shoot. “My condition was critical and everyone was worried. Her performance will leave a lasting impression,” says the actor.Ī week before Shekhar was to go on floors, Rajasekhar had fallen severely ill due to Covid-19. She will be seen in a cameo that comes at a crucial juncture in the story. Casting Shivani as my daughter in the film will bring an instant emotional connection. Shivani is a natural actor and is getting noticed for her work. “It’s not an opportunity every actor can get. The film is also special because Rajasekhar and his elder daughter Shivani played on-screen father-daughter for the first time. Apart from that, Anoop Rubens’s re-recording is also the soul of our film,” he shares. She was quite successful in the art of remaking a film and I believe only she could do justice to this film. She has done a wonderful job and got the best from the entire cast. “We have considered a couple of names before finalising Jeevitha. The film brings together Rajasekhar and Jeevitha as an actor-director after 9 years. I am waiting to see how the audience will reciprocate our efforts,” he adds. I believe that the film will give the vibe of my previous outings Akka Mogudu, Maa Aayana Bangaram, Gorintaku, Maa Annayya, and Simharasi, which were received well by all kinds of the audience. “Shekhar is a wholesome entertainer and it will be remembered for its soul-stirring emotions and family drama. I am sure the people will relate to my character, it wouldn’t matter even if they have s e en the original.” He couldn’t contain his excitement and shares, Sai Kumar, who dubbed my lines in the film, believes that I have a winner in hand. My close friends who have watched the film (in a special preview) are in awe of my new look, story, and performance. I had to prepare a lot to look mature, and in control to portray the intense emotions. “The film could be a game-changer in two aspects: it’s the most intriguing character I have ever played in my career and the script brought a sense of freshness in terms of my look. The 60-year-old actor admits that he found the prospect of Joseph exciting and liked the way the protagonist’s character was conceived. A remake of Malayalam crime-thriller Joseph (2018), the film has Rajasekhar playing a retired cop, who is seen sporting a salt-and pepper look for the first time.
