Shafi, one of the talented artists of Tollywood hasn’t got the due recognition after those negative roles in ‘Khadgam’ as brother to Prakashraj and in ‘Chatrapathi’ as brother to Prabhas. Now, after a long time the character of Siddha in ‘Mahesh Khaleja’ is giving him the name and fame, all credits to Trivikram for using Siddha appropriately in boosting the image of ‘Devudu’ Mahesh Babu.
Speaking about Shafi’s dedication towards 'Khaleja.' ‘Role of Siddha is most important in elevating Seetharama Raju. Shafi became key member in the ‘Khaleja’ unit and he used to appear on the sets even during picturizing those scenes where his presence is not required. Shafi has digested the story and script of ‘Khaleja’ in all his nerves. All the time, he used to explain the scenes to co-artists like Anushka and others decreasing the burden of Trivikram. He is just amazing,’ Mahesh Babu said
That’s for sure that Siddha gave more life to ‘Khaleja’ and his character has got the instant recognition in the movie.
