Young actor Aniesh has received a special appreciation from NTR for his script selection and dedication towards Itlu Arjuna. The upcoming film has already caught attention, with the star actor expressing his admiration for the newcomer’s efforts to establish himself in the Telugu film industry.

Recalling his interaction with Aniesh two years ago, NTR revealed that the youngster had narrated the story of Itlu Arjuna to him. At the time, he felt Aniesh was taking a huge risk with his choice of script. However, what impressed him most was the actor’s determination to improve and evolve.

NTR appreciated the extensive efforts Aniesh put into improving his acting, action sequences and dancing skills. He particularly praised the youngster’s willingness to identify his shortcomings, correct himself and embrace the process of learning and unlearning.

The actor also highlighted Aniesh’s attitude towards taking responsibility for his decisions, irrespective of the outcome. According to NTR, such a quality is rarely seen among newcomers. He further observed that many debut actors prefer scripts with powerful dialogues to establish their screen presence, but Aniesh chose a different path with Itlu Arjuna.

Expressing surprise at the range of talent Aniesh gets to showcase in the film, NTR believes audiences will recognise his efforts once the movie hits theatres. Calling Itlu Arjuna a beautiful stepping stone for Aniesh’s entry into the film industry, he extended his best wishes to the actor and the entire team.

Directed by Mahesh Uppala and produced by Venky Kudumula, Itlu Arjuna features Nagarjuna as its presenter. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on November 13.
