When Chiranjeevi warned Nassar

Senior actor Nassar is known for his impactful and powerful performances onscreen. Speaking to scribes, Nassar recollected when Mega Star Chiranjeevi warned him. He said ' I and Chiranjeevi were in the same batch during the acting school. He used to be very friendly with me. He was the first one to become a top star from our batch. He became an actor after completing the acting course in the film school. However, I became a waiter in Taj Coramandel Hotel. Once Chiranjeevi came for shooting at Film Chamber located near the hotel. I was unaware of it. When I was returning to my house from the hotel in the afternoon, I happened to witness a huge crowd and went to see what was going on. At that time I happened to see Chiranjeevi. However, I turned my cycle before Chiranjeevi could see. But Chiranjeevi watched me by that time and called me and asked ' What are you doing Nassar?'. I told her that I am working as a waiter in the hotel. He remarked why are you a good actor working in a hotel? and asked me to meet him the next day"

Nassar continued ' I told ok but I did not go. at that time I was not confident in movies and felt that a monthly pay secured job is good to look after a family and decided to settle in the hotel job. However, the cinema did not leave me and finally, I met K.Balachander. He gave me the opportunity and I became a good factor but did not get the opportunity to star alongside Chiranjeevi. Finally, I got a chance to share screen presence in his Khaidi No 150. Chiranjeevi did not feel that he did not give me the opportunity. Still, we have a good relationship. When we were doing the acting course, I used to come to the school in Chennai 60 km from Chengalpet. I used to start at 6 AM and at that time I used to carry only rice with me. During that time, Chiranjeevi and all other Telugu friends used to get lunch from Andhra Mess. Once Chiranjeevi came to know about it and warned me that he comes to know that I troubled my mother early morning asking her to prepare rice for me, he will kill me. From then on he used to order lunch for me from Andhra Mess"
