‘I would like to play a villain’

Actor Aryan Rajesh, the elder son of late director E.V.V. Satyanarayana and brother of Allari Naresh, has turned producer with Bandipotu, which has his brother Naresh playing the lead.

He says: “A producer has several responsibilities. When my father was alive, I used to see him work but I was never directly involved. Now I know the difficulties.” The actor is now reviving his father’s banner E.V.V. Cinema with Bandipotu.

Talking about his upcoming films, he clarified that he would continue to act in films as well as produce them. “Right now I am doing two Tamil films and a Telugu film,” he says. And, he is even keen to play a negative role. “I wanted to debut with a negative role, but that time my father refused to accept it.”
