A silent Sankranthi it is for Sirish, this time.

When we contacted Okka Kshanam star Allu Sirish prior to the

Sankranthi

festival on what his plans were, he said the following: Every year, around 4 generations of our families from the elders to toddlers meet in Bengaluru at a farmhouse which belongs to Chiranjeevi garu. We would spend the three days of the festival there. But this year, Chiranjeevi garu, Bunny (Allu Arjun) and Charan (Ram Charan) are all busy with their shootings. So, it’s going to be a family dinner or something of that sort in Hyderabad. To me, Sankranthi in Hyderabad means a deserted city…..(laughs ) but it just goes to show how many people from across the country have contributed to its development and made this wonderful city, their home. But, since I grew up in Chennai, I remember the days when as a youngster, during Bhogi, I used to purchase the ‘Dappu’ and try my hand at it. I also remember feeding cows and paying their owners on Mattu Pongal, the third day of the festival. “

On the other hand, Sirish is quite pleased with the response to Okka Kshanam which he says is his best work to date. “The credit for this goes entirely to director Vi Anand. I have grown as an actor under him and hope to work with him in future as well.”
