Telugu
actor
Sunil
Varma,
who
shares
screen
space
with
Naga
Chaitanya
in
upcoming
action-drama
Thadaka,
feels
that
the
latter
is
one
of
the
fast
evolving
mass
heroes
in
the
industry.
"I
played
his
(Chaitanya)
friend
in
his
debut
film
Josh
and
play
his
co-star
in
Thadaka.
The
transformation
I
see
in
him
now
is
unbelievable
because
he
played
a
lover
boy
then,
and
now
plays
a
completely
mass-appealing
character.
It's
not
easy
to
evolve
as
a
mass
hero
in
such
a
short
period
of
time," Sunil
says.
"I'm
sure
audiences
are
going
to
love
the
biggest
highlight
of
the
film
-
the
fights
featuring
him.
Sooner
or
later,
he
will
be
known
as
one
of
the
best
mass
heroes
in
the
industry,"
he
added.
Directed
by
Kishore
Kumar
Pardasani,
Thadaka
is
the
Telugu
remake
of
Tamil
blockbuster
Vettai.
It
also
features
Tamanna
Bhatia
and
Andrea
Jeremiah
in
key
roles.
Sunil
and
Chaitanya
will
feature
in
roles
originally
played
by
R
Madhavan
and
Arya,
respectively.
The
remake
will
feature
Ashutosh
Rana,
who
played
the
baddie
in
the
original.
"It's
an
out
and
out
commercial
entertainer
with
appropriate
dose
of
humour
and
romance.
I
believe
Chaitu
and
I
hit
it
off
quite
well
working
together,"
said
Sunil,
who
started
his
career
as
a
comedian
and
went
to
play
lead
roles.
Sunil
goes
on
to
say
that
he
will
never
forget
his
roots.
"I
know
where
I
have
come
from
and
I
will
always
remember
that.
Audiences
accepted
me
as
a
comedian
first
and
then
as
a
hero
and,
therefore,
I
will
entertain
them
as
much
as
possible.
Even
in
this
film,
I
have
good
amount
of
comedy
and
action
to
perform,"
he
added.
Sunil
played
lead
roles
in
Maryada
Ramanna,
Poola
Rangadu
and
Mr
Pellikoduku.
While
the
first
two
films
were
highly
successful,
his
third
film
failed
to
elicit
a
similar
response.
Thadaka
also
features
Nagendra
Babu,
Brahmanandam,
Vennela
Kishore,
Raghu
Babu,
Rama
Prabha,
Jaya
Prakash
Reddy
and
Srinivasa
Reddy.
Slated
to
release
in
May,
it
is
produced
by
Bellamkonda
Ganesh.
