In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Chunky recalled the time he was addressed as Gareebon ka George Clooney. He said, “I had received a call from the south director, Sujeeth, about two years ago when Begum Jaan had released. He told me that he saw my work and said that he wanted to cast me as the villain in a film opposite Prabhas. I was thrilled and asked him if he was sure, Sujeeth reassured me that he wanted me to play this complex character. So, when the first poster came out, somebody called me Gareebon ka George Clooney and I was very excited about that! So this is the first time that I’ve tried to get into the skin of a character because I needed to express those emotions perfectly.”
