Sharwanand has already proved himself as a good actor. Though many of his films were critically acclaimed,he has no proper commercial hit in his 10 years long career. But 'Run Raja Run' has changed his fate as an actor. This film, which was released on August 1st, has been running successfully with packed houses.

Sharwanand is very happy about it and in an exclusive interview with Indiaglitz, he has shared his joy, his experiences with director, music director, heroine, producers etc and his upcoming films.

Credit goes to them

It is better to say that UV Creations has given me a hit, rather than I scored it. I've been waiting for 10 years for a success like this. I thank my friends, family members, media and all who have supported me.

Fantastic response

The response for the film is fantastic. The openings are very good and it is getting repeat audiences to the theatres to watch the film and we are getting messages that the film is very good. The response in overseas is overwhelming and we have even increased 30 theatres there.

They believed in me

There is no special reason for the change in me . I am always selective regarding the scripts and always done scripts that I felt good. When Sujeeth came to me with this script, I asked him how did he imagine me in this role. He said that as an actor, I can do any kind of role. More than myself, my director and producers have believed in me and I thank them now.

He is an inspiration

I've always done movies with new directors. Whether it is 'Vennela', 'Gamyam' or 'Journey', they are all new directors then. I don't consider if the director is big, small, new or experienced. I see their conviction and their passion about the movie. Sujeeth has all the qualities required to become a director. He has come to the industry, doing many short films and proving himself in different genres. He has worked very hard and I had no doubts regarding his talent. If you do a short film, you will have some basic ideas of film making. Trend is changing very fast. If at all the short filmmakers are doing good films, it is because they are working hard. It is good to see short film makers making it big here. Sujeeth is an inspiration to young filmmakers.

Couldn't come out of it

The film has started within a week after 'Satya 2' was completed. I couldn't come out of the Satya character and when I asked the director and producers if we can start the film after a month, they said that we have start immediately as date issues may arise. We started then itself.

It is the best USP of them

The producers are more like my family members. I know Vicky from my childhood. Vamsi, Pramod and Vicky are very passionate about movies. They only know and think about cinema.They look after everything very well. That is the best USP of UV Creations.

Only because of Ghibran's music

If the movie has got good openings it is only because of Ghibran's music. Repeat audiences are coming to the theatres to watch 'Bujji Maa' song. The song is so popular that even small children are singing it. Even my brother's children are singing Bujji maa in house and it is so sweet of Ghibran to give such a wonderful music.

Hardworking actress

Seerath Kapoor is a fantastic actress. It is very difficult for actresses coming from Mumbai to tell Telugu dialogues. But for her first film itself, she learnt every dialogue and deliver it. She is very talented and hardworking actress. She is a very good dancer too.

He is our darling

I should really thank Madhie for his amazing work. If I am look so handsome in the film, it is only because of him. We have shot the movie in Hyderabad. But many have felt if we'd really shot the film here. He has done such a wonderful job. He has given a different tone to the film. He is our darling and it is a great working with him.

Will Keep doing them

I don't think there is a particular genre called safe genre. We do every film with the same dedication and if we know it will not work out, why would we do it. I'll keep doing different genres and it is my USP.

Will work with them

If the story is good, I will work with anyone. Any short filmmaker can come to me, if they have a good story. I will be more than happy to work with them.

Won't act in those films

I will produce films. But I will not act in those films.

It is important for me

I don't believe that I am a star. Stardom is what my films should bring me, but I won't work towards it. Many have wished that I should get a hit as I didn't have it, though I am acting for 10 years.That love is very precious and important for me. I will work for that love, but not to get stardom.

Hats-off to them

If you see the career graph of Bunny and Nithin, you will say hats off to them. They have worked very hard to learn dance and fights. The way they moulded themselves regarding their body language or any other thing is praiseworthy. I am telling this because, I know them from my childhood. Many good actors like Naga Shourya and Raj Tarun are coming to the industry. It is good to see all of them and I am very happy about them.

Don't believe in it

I don't believe in competition. There will be healthy competition between us, but if I see someone without background come to the industry and does well, I feel happy about them.

Thankful to them

If we work hard, we will be successful in the industry. I will be ever thankful to the industry because it is the people here, who wished me a good success and congratulated after scoring me. The positive talk has come out from here.

Upcoming films

I am currently doing a film produced by K.S.Ramarao. It is a very good love story. The shooting has been almost completed. I've also Tamil director Cheran's movie in pipeline. Both the films will be released soon. We are also planning to relea
