I am going to be starstruck, but at the same time I look forward to learning from them,” Priyadarshi told IANS. He will join the sets of the film on Wednesday.

The actor played the role of Kaushik in Pellichoopulu. His performance was praised by all, and he is being described as the ‘find of the year’ in the Telugu film industry. Previously, he acted in smaller roles in films like Terror. His unique Telengana accent was one of the highlights of Pellichoopulu and his dialogues from the film have become immensely popular. The film itself is being hailed as one of the better films this year and has profited to a large extent too.
