Chiranjeevi said, 'I miss Sridevi very much on this occasion. She was the heart of Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari. Her character felt like a dream. It was the first time we worked together and our chemistry was truly special.'
Chiranjeevi also expressed how he wasn't in favour of a sequel to the film earlier. But, now something has changed in him. He shared, 'I would love to see Nag Ashwin direct it with Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. The story would be closely tied to the original. It could be a dream project for both actors.'
Nag Ashwin, married to Priyanka Dutt, daughter of C Aswini Dutt, the founder of Vyjayanthi Movies, previously collaborated with the production house to make the mythological fantasy drama, Kalki: 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan in pivotal roles.
If the makers consider making the sequel with Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, it will mark their second collaboration after Peddi. The film is all set to hit the theatres on March 27 next year.
