I wasn’t too excited about the film when it was under production as it is a story based on true incidents. I watched this movie yesterday thinking it would be bland and dry, given the type of story it was based on.”He continued, “It’s a tough task to sustain this kind of plot for two-and-a half hours as there are no songs, no comedy tracks or no romantic scenes, which the audience expects from a movie of Nagarjuna. But, to my surprise, the film was high on adrenaline and offered a lot of thrills.”
The senior actor also praised the director Ahishor Solomon for his conviction; he praised the director for making this film on a limited budget. He said, “I must appreciate the film’s director Ahishor Solomon for his conviction in making the movie. I must compliment him for making the film within a limited budget. It symbolizes how capable you are as a director.”
He also added and questioned why filmmakers in the regional territory are not producing films like Uri: The Surgical Strike that won tremendous accolades. He said, “When Uri: The Surgical Strike was released, it received tremendous response and bagged several prestigious awards. When I saw it (Uri), I was like, ‘why aren’t we able to produce films like Uri in Telugu? Are we stuck in a commercial trap?’” ALSO READ: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya Teaser Release, Soorarai Pottru Entering Oscars Race And More: This Week’s News From Down South
