[[Veerabhimanyu]] was the first movie for Sobhan Babu<ref name="teluguswag.com"/> in the lead role and on the first day of the shoot, he was nervous and couldn't deliver his dialogues. Looking at tensed Sobhan Babu director [[V. Madhusudhan Rao]] decided to shoot a fight scene to reduce his nervousness, however, it didn't go well either. Sobhan Babu’s confidence was completely low and the next day he decided to inform his director and quit movies forever, however, that day he didn't get a chance to talk to the director, so before he could leave he decided to try for one last time, with nothing to lose he gave his best performance, leaving everyone in the sets spellbound. He never looked back after that and went on to act in many memorable films.
