Sai Dharam thanks mega fans

Sai Dharam Tej, who is playing the lead in ‘Winner’, says when director Gopichand Malineni narrated him the script; he wasn’t sure whether the producers would be willing to spend the money the set-up required. “But both Madhu (Tagore) and Bujji (Nallamalupu) didn’t compromise nor were they worried about the market that I command.

They simply met the demands of the story and I appreciate their guts,” said Sai. He was speaking at a promotional event of the film in Hyderabad recently. Sai also took the opportunity to thank mega fans. “When I recently told Kalyan uncle (Pawan) about an award that I won, he told me that awards will come and go but when you face failure the people who rally behind you, will tell what you’ve earned.

My last release ‘Thikka’ didn’t do well but mega fans continued to shower their love and support towards me. I thank you,” he said, pointing to the turnout at the event. ‘Winner’, also featuring Jagapathi Babu and Rakul Preet Singh, will open this Friday.
