Real
Star
Upendra
has
refused
another
tempting
offer
from
Tamil
film
director
Vishnuvardhan
who
has
been
on
a
career
high
after
the
success
of
his
recent
film
Billa.
Vishnuvardhan
was
finalising
the
starcast
of
his
new
film
'Saravam'
in
which
young
actor
Arya
was
to
play
the
lead.
But
there
was
another
important
character
in
the
film
which
was
crucial
to
the
story
of
the
film.
Vishnuvardhan
had
Nana
Patekar,
Arjun
and
Mohanlal
in
mind
when
he
had
started
writing
the
script.
But
when
the
script
was
gettig
a
final
shape,
some
how
he
had
thought
that
the
role
was
suitable
for
Upendra.
Vishnuvardhan
flew
to
Bangalore
and
sought
appointment
from
Upendra.
But
the
Tamil
director
was
not
able
to
convince
Upendra
as
to
why
he
has
to
act
in
a
Tamil
film
however
significant
the
role
is.
Upendra
is
presently
acting
in
Telugu
film"Salute'
in
which
he
is
teamed
up
with
Vishal
and
Nayantara.
Currently
the
shooting
of
this
film
is
now
going
on
in
Hyderabad.
