A debut film is often an opportunity for newcomers to make a strong first impression, but Aniesh has taken a different route with Itlu Arjuna. His choice of script and the effort he has put into preparing for the role have impressed none other than NTR.

Sharing his thoughts about Aniesh, NTR recalled how the young actor had narrated the story to him two years ago. “At that time, I felt Aniesh was taking a huge risk with his choice. But what impressed me most was his determination to evolve.”

NTR pointed out that Aniesh has worked extensively on improving his acting, action skills and dancing. He particularly admired the way the newcomer corrected himself, reinvented his approach and embraced the process of learning and unlearning.

According to NTR, being prepared to take responsibility for one’s decisions, regardless of the final result, is an exceptional quality. He described this attitude as something rarely seen among people.

He also observed that newcomers generally prefer debut scripts with strong dialogues to establish their screen presence. Aniesh, however, chose something different, and NTR was surprised by the range of talent the film allows him to showcase. He believes audiences will recognise the same once the movie arrives in theatres.

“Itlu Arjuna is a beautiful stepping stone for Aniesh’s entry into the industry,” said NTR, extending best wishes to the youngster and the entire team.

Directed by Mahesh Uppala and produced by Venky Kudumula, with Nagarjuna presenting, Itlu Arjuna is slated for release on the 13th of this month.
