Telugu
director
Ani
Kanneganti
says
National
Award-winning
actor
Bobby
Simhaa
brought
a
new
level
of
energy
when
he
joined
the
sets
of
forthcoming
Telugu
action
thriller
Run,
a
remake
of
Tamil
sleeper-hit
Neram.
"It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
Bobby.
He's
a
single-take
artist
and
no
matter
how
difficult
a
shot
is,
he
makes
it
look
so
easy
with
his
effortless
performance.
He
brought
the
kind
of
energy
to
the
project
that
made
my
job
so
easy," Kanneganti
told
IANS,
adding
that
he
was
a
big
pillar
of
support
to
the
project.
Simhaa,
who
plays
the
antagonist
in
Run,
was
also
part
of
the
original.
"When
we
bought
the
remake
rights,
we
felt
nobody
can
do
justice
to
the
role
originally
played
by
Bobby.
Hence,
we
decided
to
go
for
him
and
it
was
with
great,
great
difficulty
we
managed
to
rope
him
in,"
he
said.
Simhaa,
who
has
predominantly
worked
in
Tamil
films,
dubbed
in
his
own
voice
for
the
film.
"We
learnt
that
he
has
roots
in
Vijayawada,
where
he
had
studied
till
class
10.
Since
he
wasn't
totally
alien
to
the
language,
we
decided
to
make
him
dub
in
Telugu.
Though
he
struggled
initially,
he
picked
up
quickly,"
he
added.
