The script chooses the cast now: Dheekshith Shetty

Actor Dheekshith Shetty, who became a household name in Tollywood with Dasara, is all set to play a 19-year-old college student in another Telugu project – a thriller web series. Dheekshith, who is four films old in Tollywood shuttles between Bengaluru and Hyderabad frequently. He firmly believes that good work will be noticed and more work will follow. “I am here to tell good stories and make a mark,” he tells us.
In Kannada, Dheekshith has KTM, which, according to sources, will also release in Telugu, as he’s popular in Tollywood.

“People have always addressed me as Arjun, Rohith, Ravi and Suri (his characters from Naagini, Dia, The Rose Villa and Dasara respectively). But post Dasara, people seem to have finally learnt my name,” says Dheekshith. “When people call you by the name of a fictional character, it means they associate you with a particular project. But when they know your actual name, it means that they have put in some effort to know who you are!”
