I just followed the director - Sharwanand

One can just believe that the story is awesome and different if Sharwanand waves a green signal to it. All the stories that he had chosen till now are superb. He is a versatile actor impersonating various characters which brought more victories into his account. His "Express Raja" is a Sankranthi gift to the audience.

Merlapaka Gandhi who proved himself to be a good director with his movie "Venkatadri Express" is directing "Express Raja" under UV creations. It is greatly collecting the returns at the box office. On this occasion, Sharwanand shared his personal feelings... 

Congrats Sharwanand for the success of your latest movie. How happy are you with this success?
Thank you. I am very happy with it and let me thank the audience who encouraged the movie. Appreciation calls from all areas are mounting my happiness. This success increased my responsibility and I will strive hard to keep this up.

How's the experience watching your movie with fans?

I watched the movie in Devi theater with fans. The response was huge where the audience were enjoying the show.

Was this huge success expected?
Yes, I expected that the movie will definitely be a hit after Gandhi has narrated the story and characterization. I've acted according to the direction. The story itself has a comedy track imbibed in it which is the plus point. Success was expected by each one of us.

How do you feel for being your movie as one of the four Sankranthi movies? 
I was little tensed but all the movies released for Sankranthi are generally encouraged by the audience. Confidence in the movie made us release it without rethinking about the competition.

How is the experience working under UV Creations again?
This banner is the first one to add a commercial hit to my career. It has a perfect planning and timing to release a movie which reduces my responsibility to just act in the movie.

Is the selection criteria for choosing a movie changed after Run Raja Run?
Yeah.. I've decided to choose entertaining roles instead of serious movies and characters. The audience is demanding entertainment and meeting their demands is our responsibility.

Which character is difficult? Comedy or a serious one?
Comedy is comparatively tough. My character in Prasthanam is very serious one and has brought me good fame. Am ready to take up roles like that but I will just ensure that entertainment isn't missed.

UV and Prabhas are closely related. Are Prabhas suggestions invited in the movies as well?.  
Gopichand, meNani anIfeel Uv to be our home banner. Prabhas is close to UV producers and with that closeness he advises them which they follow undeniably. 

Finally, Tell us about your marriage? 
Not this soon. I can't tell if it would be a love marriage or a arranged one but can say that it won't happen now as I need some more time.
