Kannada actor Shree Mahadev, recently seen in Just Pass, has officially changed his name to Shree Ram. Explaining the decision, he shared that his original name Shri Mahadev led to confusion as people commonly referred to him as either Shri or Mahadev, which is his father's name. Feeling that just being called Shri was still incomplete, he opted for the new name Shree Ram. Shree has been preparing rigorously for his upcoming role in the movie Rukmini Vasantha, immersing himself in the life of a farmer. The film focuses on love within our cultural traditions, rather than agrarian issues. To fully grasp the farmer's lifestyle, Shree spent a month living in a village in Mandya. He engaged in daily farming activities like milking cows, tilling the land, and even grew his own vegetables. This hands-on experience left a lasting impact on him, pushing him to seek challenging roles that test his acting abilities and push him beyond his comfort zone, in contrast to the roles he initially took based on his own personality.
