Sudheer also believes that most lead actors nowadays are open to the idea of playing a baddie. 'I never got the opportunity to stretch beyond my capability but this character gave me the freedom go the distance with my performance,' he added. Though I've done some good roles in Telugu films, but never have I done an interesting character with such shades,' he said. But Baaghi was a project I couldn't say no to. 'I'm aware of my popularity in Telugu cinema and I'm getting plenty of offers to choose from. When they saw my video, they realised that I would fit the bill,' he said.Д«ut considering that Sudheer is popular for his work in Telugu films such as Siva Manasulo Sruthi, Prema Katha Chitram and Aadu Magaadra Bujji, didn't he mind playing the antagonist in a new industry? 'They were on the lookout for an actor who could match up Tiger in terms of physique, action and overall energy. Recalling how he landed the project, Sudheer, who has already completed shooting for two schedules of the project, said: 'It was a show reel featuring stunts from my first film that caught the attention of producer Sajid'. He added that he underwent training in various forms of martial arts, including Kalaripayattu, to play his part. Given that Tiger has been trained in martial arts for a long time, I had to put in extra effort to be on par with him,' Sudheer told IANS. 'It was really important that I matched Tiger on all parameters and it wasn't easy. Telugu actor Sudheer Babu, who is making his Bollywood debut as the antagonist in Sajid Nadiadwala-produced Baaghi, said that it wasn't easy to compete with co-actor Tiger Shroff on so many levels.
