Did you know: Dr Rajasekhar had a heart attack prior to Garuda Vega?

Tollywood actor Dr Rajasekhar is keeping his fingers crossed for his film

Garuda Vega

that is releasing on November 3. Starring Rajasekhar and Pooja Kumar in the lead, the film is an action thriller and a major part of the film has been shot abroad. During his promotions for the film, Rajasekhar revealed a shocking fact. He was assigned a trainer to get in proper shape for the film. “They sent a coach to make me fit and lean, smart. At the time I was ready to go to the sets I had a heart attack because I was going overboard on exercise and I was smoking too. I had stopped smoking earlier but resumed during the making of Gaddam Gang again. People around me said Garuda Vega should be postponed by three months but I sought just ten days to be back at work. I worked as hard for the film as I did for my first project. I did everything — chasing, car racing, under water swimming! I know people will say that it is a clichéd statement, so I will speak after the film releases and you will know what I meant. It was both physical and psychological pressure to give my best,” said Rajasekhar. Praveen Sattaru is the director of the film which also has Bigg Boss Telugu finalist Aadarsh paying a baddie along with Kishore.
