Opens up about the Telugu series\" title=\"Murali Sharma in a still from Super Subbu\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/>Murali Sharma in a still from Super Subbu Murali Sharma has spent over two decades slipping into vastly different characters across Hindi and South cinema. Now, as he makes his OTT debut with Super Subbu, he says the size of a role has never mattered as much as what he can bring to it. \u201cI only look at how much I can contribute to a character. I\u2019ve never gone by the length of a role. I\u2019ve been fortunate to play different roles. People call me the quintessential father in Telugu cinema, but I\u2019ve never worried about being typecast. Every role deserves your absolute best.\u201dSharma recalls that recognition didn\u2019t come overnight. \u201cMy friends had something called the \u2018Spot Murli Contest\u2019 because I\u2019d usually be standing behind the villain or a minister in a safari suit,\u201d he laughs. He says things changed after Maqbool and Main Hoon Na released in 2004. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to Vishal Bhardwaj and Farah Khan. Those films changed everything. I still remember a group of college students recognising me at a theatre in Vashi. It was a thrilling moment,\u201d he says.\u2018I wanted my OTT debut to be special\u2019Talking about what attracted him to his character Kukuteshwar Rao or Kuku, in Super Subbu, he says, \u201cI loved the way he walks, talks and carries himself. He\u2019s irritating, yet interesting enough to keep you watching. I enjoy creating those little details. I wanted my OTT debut to be special. There were offers before, butI\u2019m glad I waited because Super Subbu felt right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Murali Sharma in a still from Super Subbu Murali Sharma has spent over two decades slipping into vastly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[54658,93,61,60,270,226433,140343,236878,92123],"class_list":["post-560480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-character-development","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-murali-sharma","tag-ott-debut","tag-super-subbu","tag-telugu-cinema"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
