So I need to be comfortable with the people I work with. Like Prashant Neel in Salaar, Sujeeth understood me as a person. OG has been such a blessing, apart from all the box office numbers and fanfare it has been receiving. It was like the process of sifting the sift from chaff. It differentiates the good from the bad. That is how I would like to term Pawan Kalyan sir ultimately, and my experience making the film with him.”Story continues below this adThe OG actress also shared how Pawan Kalyan’s presence helped her on set. ”Pawan Kalyan sir is such a wonderful person.

She said, “He is like this young boy jumping from here to there. Everybody in a way was trying to bully him around and he would say yes to what people wanted him to do. But ultimately, he will do what he wants to do. I kept telling him that I would kill you, Sujeeth, if you don’t get my role to where it is now. You have made me do this old character, but you have given me a powerful role, so I am happy to do this. So I agreed to it. I think he did a pretty good job. “Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Pawan KalyanSriya Reddy
