Sai Dharam Tej is coming up with a mysterious content-driven thriller Virupaksha which is releasing this week on April 21. In an exclusive chitchat with M9News, hero Sai Dharam Tej spoke extensively about Virupaksha and how NTR came in support of this film.

People were quite surprised when NTR lent his powerful voice while unveiling the title glimpse, SDT’s character, and the world of Virupaksha. Speaking about it, Sai Dharam Tej said, “All my family members like Charan, Chiranjeevi Mamayya, and Bunny did their best to promote this film. I did not want to exploit them further to boost my film. So I asked my dear friend NTR.”

Sai Dharam Tej added, “He is my dear friend even before I came to the industry. He is my well-wisher and a positive person. I asked him to reintroduce me to the industry with this film. Tarak and I are very close friends. People assume many wrong things but we as a Telugu film industry are one and when he promotes me, it will only make things bigger and better for the industry.”

Speaking about winning the Oscars Sai Dharam Tej said, “While we were kids, me and Charan used to watch Hollywood movies like Star Wars and other space movies, and always told each other that we should make films on Hollywood level that will go to the Oscars. I am so happy that the Telugu cinema is going places. Charan, NTR, and Rajamouli have paved and shown the way for us.”

Virupaksha is directed by Karthik Dandu and the screenplay is by Sukumar. The film is produced by SVCC and is releasing on the 21st of April.
