When Sangay was asked if he had any pressure considering Akhanda's success, the actor told us, "Well, to be very honest, I had no pressure.

And the only pressure that I had was to deliver the Telugu dialogues because I've never heard the Telugu language,"He further admitted, "I can't understand a word of the Telugu language, so that was my pressure. Other than that, I didn't have any pressure regarding Akhanda 1 being a blockbuster.

I had to mug up all lines: Sangay Tsheltrim

The actor went on to state that there was no surprising and demanding part about his character in Akhanda 2. Sangay mentioned that being an army officer and coming from a military background made it easy for him to act as a general."There are so many things that the directors and the production people do not know about the army that I know, regarding how to wear the uniform, where to put the buttons, how to wear the cap, how to wear the bearing, the way I talk, the way I stand. Being an army officer, it was very easy for me. It was a plus point and advantage for them also because I corrected a lot of soldiers, their uniform, the way they handle and hold the weapon. So I was a plus point for that. There wasn't much of a surprising or demanding part of the character," he shared,However, the only problem Sangay had was to deliver dialogues in Telugu. It was a bigger challenge for him. "So I had to mug up all the lines and understand them in two hours and then deliver. So that was a big challenge, and I think I did very well. I'm totally satisfied. Even the director was satisfied," he said, and signed off.
