In this interview, surprise him to talk about the film, what makes it special, what makes the director Gowtam Tinnanuri and the unique Shraddha Srinath actress, arguing for the title of "gang leader", among others

Of a cricket player who died after an injury. Is it true?

This is a fictional story from beginning to end. This is not based on anyone's life. When someone wrote that it was a biopic of a cricket player, others simply copied that view.

Why this title? What kind of director is Gowtam?

The title has nothing to do with the uniform that cricketers are known to wear. There is an emotional reason behind "Jersey". As for Gowtam, he is totally honest and sincere about cinema. He could not believe it when I approved the film without taking the time to think about the script. By the time he finished the narration, I was convinced that I should do "Jersey". He did not tinker with the script anywhere. such is his conviction in his creation.

Is this a good sports film?

"Jersey" is not the kind of movie about sport where sport is only a pbading feature. He correctly explores the genre. We had too few films of this type in Telugu. I think the change is in the air with 'Jersey'.

Was it difficult to make a film based on sport?

The training sessions lasted so many weeks. I became thinner in the end. And I have never been a serious cricketer, even at school. I've always been an extra. But working on "Jersey" has opened my eyes to the details that come into the practice of cricket.

You bet a lot on Shraddha Srinath. What is so different from her?

When I watched her in a song well before "Jersey," I felt that she was far beyond an ordinary heroine. She looks very convincing as a girlfriend, as a woman. She can understand what the director has in mind even if the director has not transmitted something to him.

The child artist who played your son in the movie seems to be very important. How did he work with him?

He is a very talented child. I just could not answer his intelligent questions during the manufacturing process. He speaks and speaks. The only time he is silent, is when the camera starts to roll. You will remember most of his face after watching "Jersey".

Since the father-son relationship is an integral part of the film, it had to be different. Even the trailer has become so successful because of this emotional aspect. The scenes are realistic. I am so happy with the result that I can wait even longer for the release date. Allow time to freeze!

Last year was a mixed experience for you. If & # 39; Krishnarjuna Yuddham & # 39; failed, you have been a success on TV. How do you see all this?

I do not do any math. I've always done what I liked. At one time, I had three consecutive failures and I did not have a break for a year and a half. Suddenly, things turned for me after "Yevade Subrahmanyam". I do my job and I do not care what people say negatively about me.

"Jersey" will be taken to China. How do you see this development?

Yes, the plan is there. Bollywood explored the Chinese market. In Telugu, Baahubali & # 39; did it but the movie is a fantasy. "Jersey", on the other hand, is an emotional drama. We want to explore the Chinese market.

Your film with director Vikram Kumar, who bears the title of "gang leader", did not please many. Your comments?

No one objected to the title. The team is satisfied with the title. We chose it because it is the most appropriate title for the story. I play a character who runs a ladies band.
