In this context, Srikanth attended the recent pre-release event as a guest and shared an interesting story from his life related to his passion for films.

“I failed my Intermediate exams on purpose. If I had passed, my father would have made me pursue B.Tech. So, I intentionally failed one subject. Later, I found out that I needed to pass Intermediate to join film school. So, I passed Intermediate and joined film school. But even there, I failed. My father and uncle insisted that I pursue B.Tech or at least complete a degree. I had my Intermediate certificate, and they kept asking me to do B.Tech or a degree because of it. One day, out of frustration, I burned my Intermediate, 10th, and 7th-grade certificates,” Srikanth shared. This video has now gone viral on social media.
