What is the reason behind the title Namo Venkatesa?
‘Namo Venkatesa’ is not a kind of action masala but a pure out and out comedy flick. I do a role of Parvathaneni Venkata Ramana who has a mannerism to pray God reciting ‘Namo Venkatesa’ whenever a good happens in my surrounding. I am an ardent devotee of Lord Venkateswara and always look for only good deeds around me. But even for one such character there has been a temptation and strong belief that he will meet a beautiful lady in his life as his life partner.
We heard Brahmanandam plays a strong role. Can we know something about it?
My co-star Brahmanandam will also be a principled one with a certain ambition in life. Let me not open out everything that I am sure you would enjoy this on silver screen.
What is your opinion about Sreenu Vaitla’s contribution?
Whenever we talk about comedy I know that everybody will think of my movies like ‘Nuvvu Naaku Nachchav’, Intlo Illalu Vantintlo Priyuralu’, ‘Malleeswari’, ‘Kalisundham Raa’, etc. When it comes to this movie Sreenu Vaitla put in special efforts to project my character, i.e., Venkata Ramana, in a very special way. I really appreciate his sense of timing in entertainment and I expect this movie to be a great success.
In general your films will have certain new locations. What is the specialty in this film?
We have shot a couple of songs in Iceland at a location that was never captured in any Telugu film. We have also picturised a few scenes in Bangkok and also in Europe that will certainly be a feast to the viewers.
Devisri Prasad’s music?
It’s needless to say about Devisri Prasad’s influence among youngsters with his mesmerizing music. In this movie also he has delivered his best.
How do you explain your experience in doing this film?
Whatever the efforts we put in churning out a good performance it’s ultimately the audience who give their verdict on the film. As an artist I give my best to the movie and leave the rest to the audience. During the making of a film one should not keep worrying about the outcome of the movie instead concentrate for the moment in giving the best performance possible. I did exactly that and have now presented my performance to you all to judge.
Do you have any sentimental reasons for releasing a film during Sankranti without fail?
Sankranti is a festival during which people like to enjoy good movies with family and that is the very precise reason I’m eager to get my movie released during Sakranti time.
Now that this film is over what are your further plans?
Now taking advantage of this Sankranti I will relax for a week’s time and think about my next move. I will soon announce the same.
What is your message to your fans?
‘Always Be Positive’ is my principle and I try to follow that sincerely. I suggest all of you also to think for a moment before taking any steps in life.
