I kept pushing to stay here.” He also spoke openly about audio launch events, saying, “I watch many big audio launches on reels. I also do films, but my films have never had such big audio launches. I’m not saying this for sympathy; this is the reality.” His honest words gave a clear picture of his journey and mindset.Directed by Sri Senthil, 'Kaalidas 2' stars Bharath in the lead, alongside Bhavani Sre, Sangita, Aparnathi, and Prakash Raj in key roles.
