Need To Mature As An Actor Before Doing Big Films: Allu Sirish 

Bengaluru: Telugu actor Allu Sirish feels he needs to grow as an actor before taking up big budget projects like Bahubali.

The 29-year-old actor, who prefers doing college romances over actions films, said he would be more than happy if a filmmaker like SS Rajamouli offers him a part in a mass-appealing movie.

Allu SirishIf somebody (Rajamouli) of that stature, who sees in me a mass actor (offers me something), I would be pleased, but I feel I should mature as an actor first. I should act in four to five films before taking up mass-appealing and big film like ‘Bahubali’

Sirish prefers college romances over action films as he feels the genre is already crowded with big actors.

“It is definitely a risky decision not to act in action films. Even an average action film makes good money. Having said that, I am not against action films, but as a young actor there is a dearth of college-going love stories. I really wish to fill that slot. Risks are there, but rewards will also be good”, he said.

The actor was in the city to promote his latest release, Srirasthu Subhamastu, produced by Allu Aravind under theGeetha Arts banner.

Sirish said he really hopes that his film is remade in Kannada language so that the story of the film reaches a wider audience.

Allu SirishIf popular actor like Ramesh Garu remake my film in Kannada, the story will reach a larger audience. And if, Ramesh sir casts me then that will be an even greater achievement. I really hope the film is remade in Kannada and other languages too.

Ramesh, who was present at the event, said he is always interested in a good story. Asked whether he would love doing a film with brother Allu Arjun, Sirish said, “If there is a script revolving around me and Arjun as brothers, I would do.”
