Garuda Vega as a new-age, racy action thriller as visualised by director Praveen Sattaru. Actor Rajasekhar talks about what is unique about the film in an interview. Here are few answers he has given to questions asked,

You sound quite confident about PSV Garuda Vega:- I had always wanted to do films like Bourne Identity, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, in a way that would suit the Indian sensibilities. But no producer came forward with such an offer for years. I am lucky that Praveen Sattaru came up with Garuda Vega, and it has a gripping narration, rich visuals and an interesting screenplay which make it a unique film for Telugu audiences. It’s rumoured to be a Rs 25 crore budget film.

Do you feel that kind of lavish spend has been justified?:- I see this as my comeback film. Praveen came to me with this script. He had called it Magadu 2, initially, but it was later rechristened PSV Garuda Vega. The estimated budget was Rs 7-8 Cr. When I wondered as to who will invest such a huge amount, my wife Jeevitha told me that this film has to be done. My father’s friend’s son was interested in making a movie. Initially, when my father told me about this, I thought he was saying it in order to console me during my bad days. But when we met Koteswar Raju (producer) in Chennai, we knew he was ready to do a film with us. The same film could have been made in Hyderabad and such places. But had it not been shot in Georgia, Malaysia among other places, it wouldn’t have got so much of grandeur. That’s why the budget is rational.

Are you ready to play negative roles?:- Yes. Even if PSV Garuda Vega becomes a big hit, I will be ready. I was looking to do roles like the one played by Arvind Swami in Dhruva. I wanted to act with Chiranjeevi garu and Ram Charan. It’s always easy to play a villain. A hero has to cry beautifully. But a villain need not look handsome. He can do anything by making his face dirty and yet he will be liked.

You became very emotional at the film’s pre-release event. Did your mother’s death affect you so much?:- I am feeling like a criminal. I am guilty of not being able to save my mother. My mother complained of pain in her stomach on the day when she died. I spent five minutes of crucial time thinking about whether I should give her the same tablet that I had given her the previous day. Had I administered her the same tablet on time, she might have been alive.
