Tarun has not had a release in the last one year.

So now when his Sakhiya (Na Thora) is ready to hit the cinema hall, he naturally tense.

And after a long time, his film does not begin with the letter 'N'. And Tarun says it was deliberate.

But nothing else is deliberate or forced in Sakhiya, he says. "It is a natural, free-flowing romance," he says.

Tarun plays play Hari who is always in a hurry. "The whole film revolves around my quirky actions. How I get the girl (Nauheed Cyrusi), how I lose her and how I win her back."

Tarun has wonderful moments doing the film with Jayant. Tarun is even more happy with what happened to during the audio release. "All the eight heroines I acted with in my career came to cheer me. I was thrilled".

Tarun's next film is for Suresh Productions. Again a love story (Aarti Agarwal is the heroine), he will be playing a 'tapori' for the first time.

But for the first time, he is under pressure as Sakhiya is a make or break film.

Let us see whether Telugu film's eternal lover get this affair right.
