Mega Prince Varun Tej showed his mass power as Gaddalakonda Ganesh under the direction of Harish Shankar. The director changed the story of Kollywood hit Jigarthanda to elevate the mass image of Varun Tej's character.
Varun Tej slipped into the role and stole the hearts of masses with his mannerisms and complete transformation. Now speaking to scribes he revealed that Gadadlakonda Ganesh had the prior approval of his uncle Mega Star Chiranjeevi.
He said, "When I heard the story of Gaddalakonda Ganesh, I loved it to the core. However few of my close aides asked me not to do the film. Then I was in a dilemma whether to do or not. Then I remembered my uncle and with an impression that he would give me the correct advice, narrated the story to him.
After listening to the story, he encouraged me to do the film telling that the 'story is good and you will get a good name'. After seeing the film, uncle praised saying the film appeared better on screen."
Gaddalakonda Ganesh is turning out to be a super hit at the box office. Pooja Hegde and Atharvaa Murali played other lead roles in the film.
