Harris Shankar praises Shakalaka Shankar
Popular director Harris Shankar known for big ticket films like ‘Gabbar Singh’ and ‘DJ’ claimed that he knew comedian-turned-hero Shakalaka Shankar for more than a decade. “I saw him rise from an office boy to this stage. He even drew sketches for ‘Gabbar Singh’ and he is quite talented.
I am awaiting the release of his film ‘Shambho Shankar,” said the director after releasing the teaser. The comic-caper is being directed by N Sridhar, while Karunya plays the female lead in this film being produced by Ramana Reddy and Suresh Kodeti. Later, talking about the film, director Sridhar said “I penned a tailor-made script for Shakalaka Shankar,”.
While comedian-turned-hero Shankar said, “I slimmed down not due to gymming and workouts, but due to lack of work and food for the last two years,” he added. Will he become a popular comedian-turned-hero like Sunil and Allari Naresh? That remains to be seen.
