After Shankar’s I, Upen Patel made many an effort to be a part of Telugu cinema. But unfortunately sentiment rules here. It takes a while for people to register that a particular character fits into their scheme of things. Upen Patel finally bagged a movie in Aadi starrer Chuttalabbayi being directed by Veerabhadram. It is a little surprising that Upen who stands really tall at 6 feet something will be playing adversary to Aadi Saikumar who is so short. The shoot is in progress and it has Namita Pramod, a Malayali playing the female lead. Upen has been a part of BIg Boss and some other inconsequential Hindi films.
