Actor Duniya Vijay recently opened up in an interview about his experience of working with Nandamuri Balakrishna in Veera Simha Reddy. “I was definitely surprised that they called me for this role but I really felt happy also. Acting with Balayya is no small feat,” the actor told IndiaToday.in.
“Nandamuri Balakrishnan is a great and good human being. It was very surprising to see the way he behaves and how he treats actors. He is a much bigger star than me. It’s my good luck that I was roped in for this film. I am thankful to Balayya, director Gopichand Malineni and Mythri Movie Makers. I have great respect for all of them,” Duniya Vijay added in his interview.
Duniya Vijay will be playing the role of Musali Madugu Pratap Reddy, the antagonist in Veera Simha Reddy. The film is now running in theaters.
