More news →Saikumar to play villain again
Saikumar entered the film industry to continue the legacy of his father PJ Sharma. Though he played some small time roles, he turned a dubbing artiste and lent his voice to several popular heroes and became the main reason for the success of their films, by claiming 70 per cent of the success credit for his voice. He later turned a hero with 'Police Story' and became a successful hero. However, the films which came later failed to make it to box office and pushed him into the dark for some time. Very recently, he played a negative role in 'Samanyudu' with Jagapatibabu as hero and earned the compliments from every quarter. Saikumar personally thanked Jagapatibabu for recommending his name for the role and helped in proving the artiste in him at the 'Samanyudu' success meet. It is reliably learnt that Saikumar again agreed to play villain in a film to be directed and produced by Samudra with Kalyanram as hero. If Saikumar continues his career as villain, the Telugu film industry would get a fantastic and stylish villain.
