Confessing that he has been single for the past three years, Sundeep Kishan has revealed that break-ups in the past did affect him emotionally.

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, the actor-producer of 'Ninu Veedani Needanu Nene' says, "Usually, I take a very long time to enter a relationship. My relationships have lasted long in the past. It was a beautiful phase of my life." The 'Venkatadri Express' actor adds that "relationships are meant to be cherished".

Just as his career was looking down due to a string of flops, the break-ups took a toll on him. Sundeep suggests that he has only emerged stronger after a slew of issues on the professional and personal fronts.

'A1 Express', the sports-based drama, is his next release. Directed by Dennis Jeevan Kanukolanu, it has Lavanya Tripathi as the heroine. The film is done for the most part. Once film shoots are permitted, its pending portions will be shot and the movie released later this year.
