It was Jagapathi Babu performance in Legend that it ran for a year with Balakrishna. Yes, the Legend movie brought him back into the limelight and there is no looking back. Gudachari, Rangasthlam showcased him as a big-time villain and now he is with NTR in Aravinda directed by Trivikram. The pic on the top shows how savage and rustic Jagapathi looks.
NTR openly complimented that you can see Jagapathi in a different manner and without him, there is no Aravinda Sametha. Jagapthi thanked Boyapati earlier and now he thanked Trivikram Srinivas for giving him this role.
The idea is to elevate NTR in front of Jagapathi as they did for Balakrishna in the Legend which ran a year in the Telugu states.
Jagapathi expressed his happiness that he got the opportunity to work with Truivikram and told that NTR looked him after very well during the shooting time and he was overwhelmed with the response for his getup.
It is also reported that Jagapathi Babu is coming back as a hero soon. But he will continue to play the characters and also the Villain roles.
