Actor's insight
Rao on the experience of working on 'Srikanth'
In an earlier conversation with PTI, Rao shared his experience of working on the biopic.
He said, "I love challenges. And, something that scares me excites me even more. And Srikanth did that to me. I've never played a visually impaired man before. I didn't know if I would be able to do it. But that's the fun where you push yourself out of your comfort zone."
The film was a box office success.
