In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Dhananjaya opened up about his role and working experience with Allu Arjun and Sukumar.
Confirming that he is playing an antagonist in Pushpa, Dhananjaya said, "It's a very colourful character, a bad boy, if I can put in one word. But everyone will definitely enjoy the character of Jolly Reddy in Pushpa. I'm playing one of the antagonists in the film but it's entirely something very new.
Opening about his working experience on Pushpa, Allu Arjun and Sukumar, the actor said, "Working with Pushpa was a really good experience. I always wanted to work with Sukumar. I really follow Allu Arjun as well, he is a total perfectionist. I loved every bit of their working, they do with so much perfection and zeal, it's amazing."
Apart from this, Dhananjaya is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming Kannada film Rathnan Prapancha, where he is playing the role of a middle-class man, who is on a quest of self-discovery to find his roots.
