Teja disciplines erratic Rajashekar

Uniting with Teja for a new project ‘Aham’, actor Rajashekar, who is going through a lean patch of late, will be going for a complete makeover for the film. “From head to toe, he will go for a complete transformation. We are trying to groom him in that direction. He is in good shape and since he plays a character with negative shades, he is required to go for a makeover,” confirmed a source close to the development.

The source added the film will be an emotional conflict between the lead character’s ego and fear. “It is an experimental subject and will be shot in a town. It will go on floors early March and will be wrapped up in a start-to-finish schedule of 40 days,” the source said.

Known to be a stickler for punctuality, Teja, according to the source, has taken a surety from Jeevitha Rajashekar with regards to Rajashekar’s arrival on sets. The actor is notorious for turning up very late for the shoots. “Teja starts filming by 7 am and ends by 6 pm while Rajashekar is known to arrive at his own sweet time. To avoid any untoward incidents, Jeevitha has assured Teja that her husband will adhere to the unit’s schedule timings,” said the source.
