During the promotions of his upcoming production venture ‘Fidaa’, Dil Raju has revealed that the love story was earlier turned down by three heroes.
Dil Raju revealed that they had earlier narrated the story of Fidaa to three heroes. ‘They all liked it but refrained from signing the film as they felt they may not be the right ones to essay the lead role. Later, I decided to go with an upcoming hero and that’s how Varun Tej came on board,’ Raju added.
Although Dil Raju didn’t reveal who those three heroes are, Sekhar Kammula has on more than one occasion divulged that Mahesh Babu was the first one to listen and appreciate the story of Fidaa.
Talking about Fidaa, Raju added that it’s a simple story with a lot of emotional moments that family audiences and youth will surely like. ‘Sekhar Kammula doesn’t write great stories, he assembles great moments,’ Raju said about the sensible director in one sentence.
He also praised Sai Pallavi for the commitment she had shown in learning Telangana slang for Fidaa.
