Do you personally like bikes? Actor Rajasekhar: I’ve been fond of bikes since childhood. My grandmother had a Bullet motorcycle, and during my holidays, I would ride it around the village. My interest in bikes only grew from there. During the Sheshu movie shoot, I bought a Yamaha 650cc bike and rode it daily. I even rode it in a risky manner, and they had to sell it without me knowing (laughs). In Biker, my character’s name is Bullet Sunil, and you will get to know more about it in the movie.

He’s deeply involved in the film, and I was portrayed in a completely new way thanks to his vision.

What obstacles did you face in Bollywood? One of the biggest challenges I faced was coming from outside the film industry. Unlike star kids, I didn't have a built-i
