Having metamorphosed from comedian to hero, Sunil has to take many pains and had to shed lot of sweat. Besides, he had to face humiliations from his co-stars. Sunil has revealed one such incident in a newspaper's interview. He said," While I was doing an action sequence for 'Poola Rangadu', one of the character artists asked me satirically to get inspiration from comedy artists such as Relangi, Padmanabham and Rajababu'. However, I challenged him I would stand as an inspiration to the next generation."
And now Sunils challenge is now proved right. Many people across the state are really getting inspired of him, especially, for changing the physique and looks. His latest flick 'Tadakha' is doing decent business at the box office.
