He personally conveyed this decision to Tharun Bhascker over the phone, explaining his choice not to simultaneously juggle both business and film commitments.
“When Susi (Sai Sushanth) told me over the phone that he wouldn’t be acting, I was devastated. I got very angry,” Tharun Bhascker revealed. “He’s looking after his father’s business, and he decided not to try to manage both business and films simultaneously.
