Popular Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu has played protagonist, villain and character roles. In Tamil, he has acted in many films including Thandavam, Bubhu, Linga, Kaththi Dudu, Bhairava, Viswasam, Lapam, Annatha.
In this situation, he shared the bitter experience of his film career. In an interview given by Jagapathi Babu, “It has been 35 years since I came to the film industry. I know nothing but cinema. I will tell you a bitter experience that I remember. I acted as the second hero in the film Chagasam. I was not given food for seven days during the shooting of that film. I did not even ask if I had eaten. Didn’t listen. Light Boy shed tears seeing my situation. That humiliation taught me a good lesson. They looked at me disdainfully saying that he will stay here and somehow give me a picture.
It is understood that actors will be respected here only if they come after acting in other languages. I told my little daughter not to get married. I don’t believe in the formality of marriage. I don’t think it is right to take the responsibility of marriage, children, and stay behind them,” he said.
