It’s a blessing to work for five years with Rajamouli Garu and then Shankar Garu, it is so enriching as an actor, there’s so much to learn.”
Charan said Rajamouli and Shankar are both “taskmasters” and push their actors to give their best. He added, “They expect a lot from every person working on the film. It’s very rare to work with such talent and they keep pushing you. There wasn’t a day when you could relax. Even if you’ve a single shot, there’s work.”
