Good Bad Ugly: Raghu Ram, who has acted in movies like Tees Maar Khan and Jhootha Hi Sahi, will now collaborate with Ajith Kumar for Good Bad Ugly. He recently opened up about getting 'told off' for referring to Ajith Kumar by his name rather than 'sir.'

Raghu Ram talked about the cultural differences he experienced on set and acknowledged that at first, he didn't realise how great of an opportunity it was to star opposite Ajith. Speaking to India Today, he said, "Initially, I had a problem with that. I grew up in Delhi and worked in Mumbai as well. We call our superiors by name. When I went to the shoot, Ajith came and introduced himself to me. Since he was around the same age as I am, I started calling him by his name. And it was awkward."

Raghu Ram's actions surprised the director and the entire crew. He added that he was 'told off'  for addressing Ajith Kumar by his name. "The entire crew was shocked, and there was silence. Later, the crew told me it was disrespectful. The director and assistant director, when we went to Spain for shooting, told me off. Then, I told them I'd call him 'Sir', not for any fault of his, but because people were uncomfortable. I think he's not used to people talking to him normally."

Raghu Ram, however, commended Ajith Kumar's commitment to his job. According to him, the South actor doesn't need to work for money or look for validation. The actor continues to work and push himself. Raghu concluded by saying, "He's shown me that you decide your own life. He doesn't let the world define him. He's the centre of his own world. He's inspiring. You have to be crazy to change the world."
