Director
Krish
says
it
was
an
honor
to
work
with
veteran
filmmaker
Singeetham
Srinivasa
Rao,
who
plays
a
cameo
in
his
forthcoming
Kanche,
a
love
story
set
against
the
backdrop
of
World
War
II.
Singeetham
Srinivasa
Rao
is
known
for
memorable
classics
such
as
Pushpaka
Vimanam,
Aditya
369
and
Mayuri.
"It
was
a
surreal
moment
for
me.
For
long
I've
wished
to
work
with
him.
It
was
an
honor
to
have
finally
got
that
opportunity
in
this
film," Krish
told.
In
Kanche,
which
features
Varun
Tej
and
Pragya
Jaiswal
in
the
lead,
Singeetham
plays
a
pianist.
"He
plays
a
piano
master
and
features
in
two
scenes.
It's
a
very
colorful
character.
The
scenes
unfold
in
1936
in
a
club
in
Madras
where
Varun
works
part-time
before
he
becomes
a
soldier," he
said.
According
to
Krish,
the
octogenarian
filmmaker's
look
in
the
film
is
inspired
from
Colonel
Harland
Sanders,
the
founder
of
Kentucky
Fried
Chicken,
popularly
known
to
the
world
at
KFC.
Krish
Krish,
who
thoroughly
enjoyed
working
alongside
Singeetham,
believes
the
latter
hasn't
been
given
his
due."He
deserves
much
more.
His
films
have
inspired
an
entire
generation
of
film
lovers
and
filmmakers
such
as
me," he
said.
