Naga Chaitanya is known for his sweet, romantic roles, but he’s ready to show the world a much tougher side. He recently opened up about his new movie, Vrushakarma, where he plays an adventurous treasure hunter named Arjun. Chaitanya admitted that while he’ll always love romantic films, the “hungry actor” in him is dying to try different genres. This new film is a huge swing for him, packed with intense action sequences and high-tech VFX that he says will be a major milestone in his career.
Fans will have to wait a little longer than usual, though, because the movie is taking extra time in pre-production to get the massive sets and special effects just right. Chaitanya isn’t worried about the delay—he’s finished about 80% of the shoot and feels more confident than ever. He’s putting in the work to make sure his shift from “lover boy” to “action hero” is something his audience will never forget.
