Kannada actor Shri Mahadev, who was known for his role in Just Pass, has officially changed his name to Shree Ram. Explaining the reason behind this decision, Shree mentions that he originally went by Shri Mahadev, but found that people were referring to him either as Shri or Mahadev, which happens to be his father's name. Seeking to provide a complete name, he opted for Shree Ram.

In preparation for his upcoming movie, Rukmini Vasantha, Shree Ram has been deepening his understanding of farming, a skill relevant to his character in the film. He shares that rather than focusing on agricultural themes, the movie explores the theme of love deeply rooted in Indian culture. To immerse himself in this role, Shree Ram underwent a unique training experience by living in a village in Mandya for a month.

During his time in the village, he engaged in various agricultural activities such as milking cows, tending to the land, and even growing vegetables. This exposure allowed him to embrace the lifestyle of a farmer and gain a new perspective. Reflecting on his growth as an actor, Shree Ram expresses his desire to take on challenging roles that push him beyond his comfort zone and showcase his versatility.
