My director wanted him to play the part. I made a call to him because I wanted to try once. He said, 'You tell me, what do you want?'. I told him that I was making a film on the unsung hero Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, and there is a special character of a guru, a teacher. I told him I wanted him to play my 'guru'.

He said, 'Chiranjeevi, you have never asked me for anything. This is the first time you are expecting something from me. I will do it'. I am so happy that he immediately agreed to be part of the film. My heartfelt thanks to the megastar."
