In order to become a good director the first requirement is, you need to be a good actor. Unless you don’t know those facets you can never explain a scene to the cast nor extract the best from them. While this is a requirement, it needs to be applied more behind the camera and not before it.
However, there is one mass director in Tollywood who seems to have a lot of passion in not just enacting but acting itself. He is none other than the mass specialist Boyapati Sreenu. He was seen in few scenes in the movie Paramaveera Chakra featuring Nandamuri Natasimham Balakrishna.
Even in his own directorial Simha the first shot comes with Boyapati on the frame and his eyes were lit with joy. Those who interact with him regularly say he likes to be seen onscreen a lot. So, don’t be surprised that Boyapati might just take up a good role very soon in one of his projects.
