Tarak is an all-rounder; I copy Kajal's smile: Sumanth

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 01 2018]

In an exclusive interview to IndiaGlitz, Sumanth has said that NTR is his most favourite actor among his generation's stars after Mahesh Babu.  Tarak is an all-rounder.  He dances well, acts well, Sumanth says.

The Akkineni family actor avers that Rekha was his first celebrity crush.  'Premabhishekam' is the one film he saw most repeatedly as a child.  Remaking it would be a good idea actually, he says when our host suggests that it should be remade.  

If and when a biopic on ANR is made, Sumanth would like to play his grandpa himself.  (He is essaying ANR's role in 'NTR-Kathanayakudu').  

If not an actor, he says, he would have become a sports journalist.  When he is most disturbed, Sumanth tries to sleep off.  

Talking about his performance as an Engineering student, Sumanth says, I always used to be last during Engineering.  At the film school, though, I used to come first.

When he romanced Kajal Aggarwal in the 2008 film 'Pourudu', Sumanth would tease her about her smile.  She used to smile without her teeth showing.  I too started doing it.  It's the easiest way to smile, without having to use energy, he quips.

About his 'Mahanandi' co-star Anushka, Sumanth says, Very warm, friendly, wonderful and genuine human being.  One of the nicest humans I have worked with.  He remembers Charmme as a warm, bubbly and energetic actress.  

Finally, will Sumanth choose Jagan Mohan Reddy because he is a childhood friend or Pawan Kalyan because he is an actor? I don't have much understanding of politics.  I will have to do some homework before I can comment.  I have to read up.  I have friends in all political parties.  But I never discuss politics with any of them.  When I vote, I do it secretly as it's a secret ballot, he signs off.
