'I wouldn't say acting is in my blood'
Sushanth, another scion of the Akkineni family -- the maternal grandson of the thespian Akkineni Nageswara Rao -- made his acting debut last year with Kalidasu. Now, the young lad hopes to impress the audience with Current, his latest Telugu film which hits theatres on June 19.
Expectations will be high as he comes from one of the foremost and illustrious film families of the state. Sushanth was actually bitten by the acting bug in his second year of engineering but he finished his course before stepping under the arc lights.
Sushanth waxes eloquent about Current, his illustrious family and his first movie Kalidasu to Radhika Rajamani.
How would you describe Current? What made you take it up?
It's a very energetic youthful entertainer, an out-and-out-love story. Though it's a regular commercial cinema in terms of the songs, the concept of the story is fresh. I was hearing many scripts but when I heard the line of Current I knew I wanted to know more.
Can you talk about your role?
I play a person who doesn't worry about the past or the future. He is concerned only about the present. He does whatever he wants to live life his way and be happy. Kalidasu had a heavy subject matter, which was emotionally draining. Current has a city backdrop. I had to work hard to be energetic. It's a love story, so it's like a first film and a challenge.
Is Current more of a romantic entertainer?
Yes, it's a romantic entertainer but not a romantic comedy. When there's emotion, it's serious. My character is light, but the emotions between the boy and girl are strong. The girl is strong and independent. The film looks at what happens when two independent characters meet.
