Recently, actor Naga Chaitanya shared that he was the one who approached Virupaksha director Karthik Dandu. After hearing that the young filmmaker was developing a mystical thriller, the actor reached out, and that is how Vrushakarma came to be.
Many have praised the Akkineni actor for his humility in openly admitting this on stage. Typically, Telugu film heroes avoid stating that they were the ones to seek out a collaboration, fearing they might appear inferior to the audience. Chay’s candid admission, therefore, has surprised many.
However, Chay doesn't need a pat on the back for seeking out union with an in-form director and speaking about it openly. "Collaborations work like that only. A section of sheep-like followers live in a delusion that their hero is a god, that he sits with his legs crossed in style, and everyone is dying to chase after him. Any actor in the world who loves their job seeks out filmmakers whose work they like," an X user opined.
