Naga Chaitanya on exploring darker space in Vrushakarma

Naga Chaitanya on exploring darker space in Vrushakarma. Naga Chaitanya who captivated all with his performance in Thandel and in the webseries Dhootha is now coming to surprise all with the film Vrushakarma directed by Karthik Varma Dhandu of Virupaksha fame.

Now, speaking to scribes, he shared his thoughts on exploring darker space in the film. He said "As an actor, I'm always trying to do something different from my previous films. It is very much a conscious shift for me from film to film. Being associated with a mythical thriller set in a slightly darker space is something I have not done before."

On winning the best actor award for Thandel at Gaddar Awards, he shared "It came at a remarkable moment in my 17-year career in the Telugu film industry."

He added "The 'Thandel' is a very special film and a special role based on real events and real people. I got involved in the film during pre-production, and meeting them and hearing the real stories of these real heroes really motivated me. I felt it was a blessing to have this opportunity to bring their stories to life."

He shared "I've always wanted to be a part of a large-scale spectacle film with a nice mythical layer added to it. That was my dream in the last few years, and finally, that dream came true with 'Vrushakarma'."

He added "Working with VFX is a very new approach for me. We had to do multiple shots again and again for different layers of VFX. It pushes you creatively, as it is up to your mind to imagine what needs to be there,"

About Vrushakarma he says "What you have seen in the 'glimpse' is probably just 10 per cent. What I am most excited about is the climax of the film. Those final 30 to 35 minutes are something I am especially looking forward to."
