Sharwanand takes Sabarimala vow?

Hotshot Sharwanand, who is basking in the success of ‘Mahanubhavudu’ has taken the Sabarimala vow and would be visiting the revered temple in December or January. “He is on a 48-day deeksha and busy performing pujas. He is a god-fearing youngster and spending a lot of time in temples these days,” says a source, close to the actor. Although, he knows about the present controversy around the temple over the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing women of all ages into the revered shrine, but he has no take on it. “No comments please,” the source cuts short. Nevertheless, the new-age star joins the bandwagon of big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikanth and Chiranjeevi, who visited the shrine in the past.

On the work front, the actor is playing a gangster in his upcoming film ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu’ and excited to don a ‘grey’ role for the first time in his career. “His role is very different and challenging as well,” the source points out. Interestingly, the ‘Santhamanam Bhavathi’ star has not signed any new film, despite listening to four to five scripts in the last few months. “It is true that he hasn’t any new film because he is looking for novelty in scripts to avoid repeating himself,” the source concludes.
