Rajeev Kanakala said that he has played many roles over the years, but the role in D/O Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu stands out as a milestone. Krishna presented him in a refreshing way.
The Telugu web series D/O Prasad Rao Kanabadutaledhu starring Rajeev Kanakala, Udaya Bhanu, Vasanthika and Sriram Venkat in prominent roles, is set to premiere on ZEE5 on February 27. The makers of the movie recently held a pre-release event as a part of its promotion.
Speaking about his role, Rajeev Kanakala described it as one of the most significant characters in his career. "I've played many roles over the years, but this one stands out as a milestone. The emotional transitions, the modulation, and the dialogue delivery are completely different from what audiences have seen from me so far. Krishna presented me in a refreshing way," he said.
He added that the narrative unfolds with consistent tension and unexpected turns. "It's layered, intense, and emotionally grounded. Viewers will stay engaged till the last moment."
Talking about the challenges of performing in the dialect used in the series, he said, "I would say the difficulty was very minimal, and only at the beginning. Director Krishna was present throughout the shoot and has a strong command over the dialect. The makers were very clear about the character from the beginning. Once I got into costume, including the walk and mannerisms, everything felt natural and easy."
Talking about his daughter, Rajeev Kanakala said, "Like anyone else, I get emotional when I think about my parents. As a father of a daughter, there were many moments in this story that I personally related to. That's why this project is very important to me. Nowadays, we mostly stay connected through phone calls, but whenever I get time, I tease her, irritate her, and enjoy those little moments."
