Well known actor Jagapathi Babu has turned bad. He is turning the tables and showing his willingness to experiment with a negative role.

Jagapathi Babu has confirmed that he will play the villain against Balakrishna in a Boyapati Srinu film. Jaya Simha will feature the senior actors in powerful roles as it is said to be a political drama. This will be the second time that the clean family hero will be seen as a villain after Tamil star Vikram's Siva Thaandavam.

Speaking on the role, Jagapathi Babu noted that this will be a reinvention for him as his recent films were like blink and miss episodes. He expressed that he needs to take care of himself.

On the film, he commented that he is happy to be associated with a top actor like Balayya, a good director and a good banner. He also revealed that he will change his body language in the film as he will be seen in three different looks spanning 3 generations. Jagapathi Babu hopes his female fan following will accept him in this new avatar and that he feels positive about the decision.

The actor will join the shooting of Jaya Simha in the second schedule.
