Comedian Missed Being Hero Due To Phone Number

Ten years back, there were no cell phones and people mostly relied on PP phones. At that time, Ram Gopal Varma was apparently miffed with a leading actor and decided to cast Kallu Chidambaram as a hero in his film. So, when Ramu started hunting for Chidambaram’s number, he could not get one as the latter did not have a phone. 

Later, Ramu enquired at the Vishnupriya Hotel where Chidambaram stayed while in Hyderabad, he did not get a response. That’s how Chidambaram lost out on an opportunity to become a hero. After that, Ramu gave up on the thought and got busy with the Bollywood film Daud. Well, that’s how Kallu Chidambaram lost a big break. Apparently, he now uses a mobile, but a missed opportunity is hard to come by again.
