The only difference is I’molder and more mature,” he chuckles,adding, “I was shooting in JogFalls, Karnataka, on Wednesdaywhen every second person, who metme, wanted me to come up with afilm like ‘Police Story’ again. Not justin Karnataka, everywhere across theworld I’m remembered for my stintas Agni.”
“I remember, on my first day of(Pataas) shoot, the unit whispered‘he is back as a cop’ as soon as theyspotted me in khaki. I bring out a seachange in the way Kalyan Ramthinks about a cop in the film.”He continues, “When I don theuniform I get excited. I still discussAgni with my family. I also told themwhat headline newspapers wouldcome up with after my death – IkaKanipinchani Nalugo Simham.
”The trailer of ‘Pataas’ shows theactor’s cult dialogue – Kanipinche aamudu simhalu…. – from ‘PoliceStory’ rendered as a satire by KalyanRam and Srinivas Reddy. Ask himhow he took it, he says, “DirectorAnil Ravipudi timidly told about theline and I took it in my stride. EvenKalyan Ram had asked me multipletimes if I’m okay with it. He took acouple of takes to get the sequenceright as he was edgy doing it.
”The veteran actor ishighly impressedwith Anil. “He iscrystal clear in hisapproach. He shotthe film in his headbefore he took it onto sets. It is the samereason, I guess,Kalyan Ram offeredhim to direct thefilm rather thanpurchasing thescript from him,”he states, adding,“Being a writer inthe past also helped Anil. Even when Isuggested certainchanges he convinced me with his reasons.
