U should have asked him question about sai pallavi. His pairing with her was one of the best in the last 20 yrs of telugu cinema

[@RajuPradeepBrahma]

People also find your acting fake. I am making my debut as Star Hero with mind blowing intense mass commerical sci fi story and after that people will realise the meaning of acting
