Mumbai, April 7 (NationPress) Television sensation Dheeraj Dhoopar is gearing up for his debut in Telugu cinema with the soon-to-be-released film ‘Kalavaram’. He expressed that television will always hold a special place in his heart, as it not only marked his entry into the entertainment realm but also propelled his professional journey to new heights.
In a recent conversation with IANS, the actor revealed that his aspiration to venture into the south film industry has long been on his mind, though his television commitments kept him busy.
He stated, “As many know, television is incredibly demanding, requiring shoots six to seven days a week. Yet, I believe that opportunities arise at the right moments, and this feels like my ideal time.”
He added, “I’ve always aimed to engage with various forms of entertainment, including OTT, television, and films. Now that I have the chance to connect with my audience through multiple platforms, I am truly enjoying it. Television will forever be my first love, and I remain open to continuing my work in that area while also wishing to explore other mediums.”
Dheeraj shared that there was no set plan for his entry into south cinema; it all transpired naturally.
He mentioned to IANS, “I had gone to meet the producer, and before I realized it, I was on board. My desire to be part of Tollywood has always been there, but due to previous obligations, I couldn't pursue it sooner. Now, stepping into this industry as an antagonist, portraying the villain, is incredibly rewarding.”
The actor commenced shooting for his Telugu debut last month at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. He updated his followers on Instagram with several photos from the sets, including a clip of a scene he shot for Kalavaram, where he appeared slightly perplexed, along with images of the film set and the clapboard.
