Telugu actor Meka
Srikanth feels honoured to have worked in the forthcoming
historical-drama "Devaraya" as he got an opportunity to play the famous
emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya.
"It is a very special film ('Devaraya')
because I play the role of Sri Krishnadevaraya and I feel honoured to
have worked in it. Having watched several yesteryear actors play this
role, I know I have to deliver my best to even live up to the
expectations of the audience," Srikanth said.
He further added that he researched extensively to prepare for the role.
"I went through several historical books and old films to understand the character in detail," he added.
"Devaraya", directed and produced by
Nani Krishna, also features Vidisha and Meenakshi Dixit in lead roles.
It will release Friday.
The film is co-produced by Kiran Jakkamsetty and has music by Chakri.
