JD Chakravarthy on NTR, ‘lost love’, wish from Mahesh & more

We had a freewheeling chit-chat with JD Chakravarthy, who will be seen as a supporting actor in ‘Hippi’ (June 6 release).  When we shot Rapid Fire questions, JD was at his spontaneous best.  Here we bring you his interesting responses.

Shiva or Sathya?

Shiva

Sridevi or Maheshwari?

Sridevi

The biggest mistake of your career?

Telling lies in interviews like this one!

Have you ever picked up a quarrel with anybody on a film set? 

Ask me when I didn’t pick up a quarrel.

Did you ever go to a film set in a drunk state? 

I never touch alcohol. I don’t even smoke.

Who is your best friend in the industry? 

Uttej.

Who is your favourite film actor?

Chiranjeevi.  He is my all-time favourite and I never put a ‘Garu’ after his name because I am a fan.  I am a great fan of his.

Arjun Reddy or Rx 100? 

The latter.

Your best co-stars? 

Manisha Koirala, Sushmita Sen, Soundarya.  I used to have ego issues with Soundarya and I really miss that.  Rambha is more than a friend.  She is like family.  I call her Jimmy.

Why Urmila so many times in films?

I love her. And she used to love RGV.  And RGV used to love a bit of us both.  I and Ramu garu used to love her.  So, we three decided to do films together or separately.  Later on, we decided to stop working together.

What do you remember when these names are mentioned? 

RGV?: My strength. 

Krishna Vamsi?: My weakness. 

Maheshwari?: My lost love.  I didn’t love her.  She is a dear friend.  Don’t think we were in love with each other.  Don’t write that we were in love with each other.  It would be awkward. 

Pawan Kalyan: Would have been good had he won.

Mahesh Babu: I am wondering why he is not doing a ‘Pokiri’. 

NTR: A very energetic fellow.  During a car journey with him once, he told me he likes ‘Chal Chal Chali’ song a lot and started playing it. As the song was playing, he closed his eyes and drove the car at 110 kms speed.  I decided that day that I should never travel with him. 

Prabhas: I really don’t know him. 

Balakrishna: I love his energy.

When did you experience your first love? 

I haven’t experienced it till today.  I keep loving every day.  I keep loving anybody.
