Amid huge expectations, his second directorial venture, Billa 2 with Ajith in the lead will release tomorrow.In this exclusive interview, Chakri Toleti talks about the making of Billa 2.
The first Billa was directed by Vishnu Vardhan. When you were made the offer to direct the second part, did you think twice before accepting it?
I was signed by the Hindujas to direct a film, and we were working towards another film. But when they offered me Billa 2, I went to Chennai and met Mr Ajith and had a long chat with him.
We found we were on the same wave length. Only after that, did I accept the offer.
