He is one of the senior stars of Tollywood with hundreds of crores of assets and powerful connections in Telugu states.
The senior star has refused to get vaccinated himself until a couple of weeks ago.
When his film’s director and producers have suggested him to get vaccinated in March for his own safety, he reportedly shot down their advice.
He is said to have told them that he has a great immunity as he does ‘puja’ daily, recites mantras and does yoga. He believed that these were enough to get protected from COVID-19.
As the second wave of the pandemic began to create havoc, he must have realized that his so-called ‘powerful immunity’ is not enough. So he reportedly got vaccinated silently.
He is also planning to resume the shoot later this month.
