Raj Deepak Shetty, who made his Telugu debut with the movie iSmart Shankar, has continued to get offers in Tollywood.He says, “I play the role of Doraiswamy who returns from Singapore to his native village. Doraiswamy is the brother of the main villain, played by Naren. It is great to be back on a set after the lockdown, that too in a movie that has a stellar star cast. I can’t ask for better movie than this to return to shooting after almost seven months.”
On sharing screen space with actor Venkatesh, he adds, “I grew up watching his movies. I am a great fan of his dancing skills. I was nervous when I was shooting for a scene with him, but he calmed me down and was very supportive and co-operative, knowing that I am not fluent in Telugu. I am glad to work with such stalwarts of Tollywood.” Raj will also start shooting for Pushpa, which has Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, soon.
