I'll start investigating into rumours, says Rajasekhar

Seasoned actor Dr Rajasekhar, who played a cop in his latest film 'Kalki,' says that he will begin investigation into rumours about his movies. "I am also hearing a few rumours. Like I'll be doing a movie with Chiranjeevi garu and other actors, but that's not true.

So, I'll soon track down the person behind these false rumours," he says with a smile and adds "I don't mind doing negative roles, like the one played by Arvind Swami in 'Dhurva' but not the cliched villain roles. I also liked Jagapathi Babu's role in 'AravindaSametha…' but routine stuff doesn't excite me," Coming back to 'Kalki', he informs, "I think 'Kalki' has passed the exam.

I am receiving appreciation for my performance and mannerisms. Once I get into a cop's role, I change my diet and workout hard," he adds. "I liked the stylized screenplay as the story is narrated in Rahul's point of view, so even the climax went a few notches up. My daughters told me that their friends said that I am looking younger and giving competition to young heroes, that's a lovely compliment. Director Prashant handled the love story aesthetically, which I felt was refreshing," he adds.

On his two daughters-Shivani and Sivathmika- turning actors, "I am happy about their new interest. First, let them make their mark and we may share screen space sometime later. In fact, we have a story ready for all four of us including Jeevitha, a family entertainer. C Kalyan is ready even produce it. Actually, I felt very happy when Sivathmika was compared to Savithri garu in 'Dorasaani' trailer," he says with a glint of pride.

On his upcoming movies, he says, "Praveen Sattaru is working on the script for the sequel for 'Garuda Vega…' because it has to be in the next level. On the other hand, I am listening to scripts, but found nothing exciting yet."
