Actor Srikanth will be seen as a Chief Minister in the Sankranthi mega release, Game Changer (January 10th release). Starring Global Star Ram Charan in the lead, the film has Srikanth in a grey role.
On Saturday, Srikanth interacted with the media to talk about the political action entertainer. “My character has both positive and negative sides. He reacts depending on the situation,” the actor reveals. The flashback blew his mind. Srikanth suggests that the second half of the Dil Raju-produced movie is a stunner.
Srikanth says that his characterization in Game Changer is fresh and distinct compared to his recent works. “I never imagined I would portray such a character. When they first narrated the first half, I questioned why they thought of me for this role and whether I could pull it off. However, after hearing the second half, I knew I had to take on the role no matter what. It was such a compelling character,” he observes.
The senior actor enjoyed the makeover part as much as the character’s behaviour. “Once the prosthetics were done and I got into the look, I felt confident that I could do justice to the role. Working with filmmaker Shankar garu is a dream for many, and I consider myself fortunate to have such a significant role in his film,” the Devara artist adds.
Prosthetics is a first for him. “One needs a lot of patience while getting into that getup. We need to sit for 2-3 hours to get the makeup done. We can’t sweat till evening. We should balance all these things. It is tough. Initially, I found it difficult, but later I figured out how to manage myself in that makeup,” Srikanth informs. Besides the make-up, Srikanth adapted his demeanour and language accordingly.
Amidst a rumour that Srikanth’s character is an estranged follower of Ram Charan’s older version in the movie, Srikanth says, “You have to watch the film to see if I was a follower or a friend or something else.”
Srikanth never expected to be a part of a Shankar movie. Talking about his previous association with Charan, Srikanth says, “We had collaborated on Govindudu Andarivadele. I was relatively young in it. Whatever he has been doing now are matured characters, be it Rangasthalam or RRR. As he is now a Global Star, the characters will be of that level. Both his characters in this movie are performance-oriented roles. Especially, playing Appanna character in this movie is challenging. Playing such characters needs a lot of experience. He aced it completely.”
