"My brother used to work as Drug Control Officer and he always encouraged me to become an actor. After thinking much about it, I joined the Film Institute and got a gold medal. I met NTR with that gold medal and his words made me think.

He said, I'm here to do Mythological characters, ANR is doing social roles, Krishna action movies and Sobhan Babu romantic movies, what will you do as an actor during this time?

That made me think more about myself, After listening to his words, I was upset and refused to take the food for one week" shared the actor.

Rajendra Prasad chose roles that every middle class or for that sake every individual could relate to. Be it Sundaram from 'Ladies Tailor', Chitti Babu from 'Aa Okkati Adakku' or Balaji from 'Mister Pellam', he never went overboard doing larger than life characters.

It looked like his only aim was to entertain the audience in the best possible way. And he completely nailed it catching the pulse of the audience.
