When Shaam was literally struggling with his career in Kollywood, Ravi Teja invited him to Tollywood and indeed gifted him with a jackpot through the movie 'Kick'. The actors have become close pals now and they're ready for their next project as well. The film titled 'Veera' will feature them in lead roles with 'Vastadu Naa Raju' fame Taapsee starring opposite them in female lead character. It was Ravi Teja, who again offered Shaam this role. Much elated in spirits, Shaam says, "Ravi Teja is the person who helped me a lot to get a status in Telugu cinema. I'm always calling him as my brother. It is not just a courtesy word. He is really taking care of me like my elder brother and helping me a lot. We not only share food and screen space, but also good relationship. I'm always thankful to him for his helping tendency and gesture.
