Actress Anjali was initially nervous to work with Nandamuri Balakrishna in Dictator. However, her inhibitions were crushed once she started shooting for the film as Balakrishna made her comfortable on the sets. "I was initially apprehensive to work with Balakrishna garu as people keep telling me that he is very serious and disciplined. Once I started working for the film, he gave me a lot of freedom and surprised me with his down to earth nature."

Anjali had a gala time shaking her leg with Balayya in the film. "I love to dance and it has become one of my interests in the recent times. It was fun grooving with Balakrishna. His energy levels are incredible. The songs that were shot in Swiss Alps and Bulgaria came out really well. I somehow managed to match his dance movements."

Directed by Sriwass, Dictator is produced by Eros International and Sri Vedhansh Entertainments. The film is ready for release on January14.
