'Happy Days' Guy Says It's Unbelievable

Varun Sandesh. The name is not so familiar yet. But if we say 'Chandu' in Happy Days...people can easily make out. Varun Sandesh is the guy who acted as Chandu in 'Happy Days'. He is doing his plus two in USA and came to know about Sekhar Kammula's announcement of talent search. He had simply sent a mail with his photographs to Sekhar. He then got a reply from Sekhar asking to act in a couple of specified scenes and send the CD. Varun did that. Then he got a call from Aneesh, the executive producer of 'Happy Days'. Varun was told that he was selected for a role in the film and hence asked him to fly down to Hyderabad. That's the happiest day in his life he says.

He was asked to do rehearsals initially and the first scene he acted was the ragging scene with seniors. As there are no dialogues for him in that scene, it became a bit easier to do. But he says that he felt afraid to some extent while acting in love scenes with Tamanna. He also said that Tamanna herself pumped in courage in her to do those roles.

Everything went on well. The film released. And now Varun is a celebrity in college student circles. He is getting number of fan mails and phone calls. Now he got a chance to act in Dil Raju's next film 'Koththa Bangaru Lokam'. Varun says that he has the desire to work with directors like Puri Jagannath and Bhasker. Now acting became his priority. He says that he will be focusing on it after completing plus 2.

Varun is the grand son of popular literary person Jeedigunta Ramachandra Murthy. He says humbly that his favorite actor is Jr NTR and 'Simhadri' is his favorite film.
