He spoke to me for an hour at my college and even offered me a remuneration of ₹3 crore. I told him I am not interested in playing the villain. If I play the villain, I will yell at the hero till the interval. In the second half of the film, he will beat me up,” he said, making his family and the anchor crack up.This is not the first time Reddy has spoken about the director approaching him about the project.
