Kiccha Sudeep Talks About His Scary Moments

The actor who is playing an antagonist in Salman Khan’s “Dabangg 3” said, "Even though people are observing or talking about my look in the film in a good way but in the beginning, I did feel a bit embarrassed. This is worst then being dressed, you need to be perfect. The embarrassment was scary. Salman Khan has been into fitness for a long time and if he can feel like that in Sultan then what I am? I did have my fears. I was scared initially."

He further added that transforming his body in such a huge way was a big challenge for him. The actor stated that everything he ate from diet food to his drinks was calculated and measured.

The 46-year-old actor further added that people in the South think that Bollywood makes great films and vice versa.
