Senior Tamil hero Sharatkumar, who is making his comeback to Telugu cinema with Sairam Shankar’s ‘Nenorakam’, revealed that Megastar Chiranjeevi refused to give him a chance in Khaidi No.150.
Before making big in Tamil cinema, Sharatkumar started his career with a Telugu film in 1986. He played villain roles and supporting characters in many direct Telugu films including playing the elder brother of Chiru in ‘Gang Leader’.
‘Due to my good acquaintance with Chiranjeevi, I asked him to give me a role, even if it is small in his 150th film. He however rejected my proposal saying that my image is too big to play small roles. In fact, when I was dong villain roles at the start of my career, he was the very first one to tell me that I would become a star hero,’ divulged Sharatkumar.
He was last seen in a direct Telugu film in Allu Arjun’s ‘Bunny’. His new Telugu film ‘Nenorakam’ starring Sairam Shankar will hit screens on March 17.
