Actor a bundle of nerves as he awaits new release

Rahul Ramakrishna has carved a niche for himself with earthy language, quick repartee and expressive face

Actor Rahul Ramakrishna is a bundle of nerves and energy as he awaits the release of his latest movie. “Acting happened. Now I treat it as a 9-5 job where I get up in the morning, go to work and then come back home,” says the actor, who has carved a niche for himself with earthy language, quick repartee and expressive face.

From doing roles as a friend and partner thriving on gags, the actor is now part of the troika in ‘Skylab’, a movie that uses the scare of the American satellite falling on a village in Telangana to show a humane drama.

“The story is funny considering all the incidents that happened in rural Telangana at that time. It is kind of theme of the movie but within it is the comic nature of the entire episode. The drama happening to the guy who wants to set up a clinic, a writer who wants to start a newspaper in town and my role as a person whose sole goal is to clear the debts accumulated by his family,” says Mr. Ramakrishna.
