Not Dhanush but Ravi Teja was the first choice for Sir, here’s why the actor rejected it

Ravi Teja

Telugu actor Ravi Teja is back in his comfort zone with a full-on entertainer called Mass Jathara. The star has made a name for himself over the years by playing strong mass roles that show off his unique energy and sense of humor.

During the promotions of Mass Jathara, director Venky Atluri interviewed Ravi Teja, and director Bhanu Boggavarapu. The interview was not just fun but also a lot of interesting things have been revealed as a part of it.

Ravi Teja now seems determined to get back his popularity with the movie Mass Jathara, which Bhanu Bhogavarapu directed. Director Venky Atluri recently said that the story of Sir, Dhanush's first movie in Tollywood, was originally written with Ravi Teja in mind. Venky had planned for him to play the main character when he was writing the script. Ravi Teja couldn't do it because he was too busy at the time, so Venky went with Dhanush instead.

Ravi Teja had no regrets at all; he only had good things to say about Dhanush's performance. The actor is said to have told Venky that Dhanush was the best choice and that he made the character even better. Ravi Teja still said that Dhanush played the best version of the role, even after the movie was a hit.

The subject came up again in a recent talk with Bhanu Bhogavarapu, the director of Mass Jathara, Ravi Teja, and Venky Atluri. Venky said that Ravi Teja would have brought a different kind of energy to Sir, but the Mass Raja humbly disagreed and said that Dhanush's performance was perfect.

This kind gesture shows that Ravi Teja is down-to-earth and has a sportsman spirit, which is hard to find in an industry that is usually competitive. Fans can't wait to see the actor return to the genre that made him famous as "Mass Raja" as Mass Jathara gets ready to come out.
