Kannada senior actor Upendra is making headlines for an unexpected reason — a look test.
Surprising as it may seem for a seasoned actor like him, the look test was done for an upcoming film starring Ram Pothineni, produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
In the film, Ram plays a character who is an ardent fan of a movie star. Casting the right actor for this “star” role was crucial, especially since Ram himself is a well-known hero.
Mythri considered several big names, from Nandamuri Balakrishna to Mohanlal, before finalizing Upendra for the part.
To give Upendra a fresh appearance, the team conducted a look test and finalized a unique look for him. His portions are yet to be shot.
The film is reportedly titled "Andhra King Taluka". In the storyline, Upendra's character is referred to as the "Andhra King," and Ram plays his devoted fan — his “taluka” (follower).
The term “Taluka” recently gained popularity after it was associated with the Pithapuram MLA, making the title sound catchy and culturally relevant.
