No pressure on Dharma

Excited as ever, Dharma recollects some of the sequences from the film that are still fresh in his mind. “I still remember shooting in Madikeri. It was raining heavily and our director (Nagesh) decided to shoot then. It was a real challenge to shoot in the rain, as it was freezing, but we managed to get through it with no problems at all,” says Dharma. He adds, “Another scene that I can never forget is a stunt sequence where I had to jump off a 15-foot high building and land on a bed. Now that I think of it I can’t believe I actually did all those things.”

Ask him if there were any pressures as a solo actor and he says, “I never felt that pressure as I never saw it in that way. I took each day as it came and gave it my very best. Plus the bond with my director was great, he never made me feel the strain.”

While offers are flowing in, Dharma wants to wait and see how the audience accepts him as a hero and then look into things.
