Actor Sarathkumar started his career as a producer and then played villain roles before turning a hero in films. As the classic Telugu movie Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari celebrated its 30th anniversary last week, the actor has shared a great memory with Megastar Chiranjeevi.

Sarathkumar has acted with Chiranjeevi in movies like Gang leader and Stuartpuram police station, and revealed during a recent TV interview that, there was a time when he was having huge financial crisis, and a producer had told him to get Chiranjeevi's callsheet to solve his issues.

Sarathkumar had went to the shooting spot to meet Chiranjeevi, who cancelled the shoot and took Sarath to his home and enquired about the issue. As Sarath revealed his situation, Chiranjeevi immediately accepted to act in the movie and gave his callsheet without even asking for a salary, and also told that Sarathkumar will become a hero sooner. Sarathkumar got emotional as he shared this in the interview.
