Telugu Actor Viswant Duddumpudi who caught attention with his debut movie Kerintha has shared screen space with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in upcoming Telugu movie "Manamantha", defines the experience of working with the veteran as his career-high moment.
"For someone like me who is just a film old, to act besides Mohanlal sir is like a career-high moment. Despite being a superstar, he is so humble and supportive. When I met him on the sets, he initiated a conversation and made me feel comfortable, Viswant told IANS, adding that his first shot in the film was with Mohanlal.
He admits he was nervous initially.
"I wanted to get the first take right in the first attempt. It's called the golden take and I was very particular nothing went wrong.
"However, when I learnt my first shot was with Mohanlal sir, I was slightly nervous but luckily everything went smoothly," he said, crediting the "Drishyam" actor's support.
"I realised Mohanlal sir is very good at improvising on the spot. If his co-star fumbles a bit, he knows how to improvise and take the scene forward," he added.
Working, it felt like I had worked in five films. Everybody was so warm and welcoming on the sets," he said.
The film will also be released in Malayalam as "Vismayam", and has music by Mahesh Shankar.
