Dheeraj is known for his on-screen romance, but he will channel the opposite character in the upcoming film. He will play the antagonist in Kalavaram.

The actor talked about his debut to Hyderabad Times and said, “Telugu films were always on my radar, and now felt like the right time. I play the villain in the film. I've always heard that working in South Indian films is a unique experience, and I'm now witnessing it firsthand.”

Dheeraj also got candid about playing the negative role and shared, “They call actors by their roles ‘villain' for the bad guys and 'hero' for the good guys. It's like being in a script all the time! It's new for me.”
