"Actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, and Samantha among others have that brilliance. It is so simple that, if the actors didn't have that command, we wouldn't watch them playing many different roles and succeed every time," he said.

The director further adds, “The believability completely depends on their performance. Look at Sam garu in the film's poster. Does she look like this in her Instagram profile?” The director added that he thinks it's his responsibility as a director to encourage and assist his actors in developing a deeper understanding of the characters they play in the movies.

"I won't enact all the time and mostly focus on narrating the script, making the actors understand the characters' nuances. I speak to the actors a lot just about the characters," he continued.
