I want to start my career with a blockbuster film and Im not going to settle for anything less than that. If all goes well, I will announce details about my debut film in near future after Oka Laila Kosam releases. Till then, all I can say is, Im still working hard on what my debut film should be", at an event celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Raos birth anniversary and the success of Manam. Later V. V.
