'Shyam Singha Roy' director on Pawan Kalyan, Prabhas, and others

Director Rahul Sankrityan's 'Shyam Singha Roy' will hit the screens tomorrow (December 24). The young filmmaker has said that, if ever there is a second edition of the film, he would like to cast Pawan Kalyan as the hero.

There is fire in him. By default, he is a Shyam Singha Roy. He has got a massive fan base. If he does a subject like 'Shyam Singha Roy', it will be a blast in theatres, Rahul, who is known for 'Taxiwala', told IndiaGlitz.

As for Jr NTR, he said, I want to do a film that has subtle emotions as the crux and where masterly, Al Pacino-like performance is required of him. I want to cast him as a cold-blooded don.

How does he want to see Prabhas? We have seen him in humongous roles already. Unless I can go beyond what 'Baahubali', 'Chatrapathi' have done, I should not do a film with him, Rahul adds.

The filmmaker describes Allu Arjun as one of the most interesting stars. He is an evolving star. He has been growing and growing. I had a comedy film for him in mind at one point. But it doesn't suit him in the renewed image, he says.  

Finally, about Mahesh Babu, Rahul says, He looks like a sky to me. He is boundless. I am unable to fit him into a space. He is fluid and I want to do a challenging subject with him.
