Nagarjuna Akkineni, Nani, Rashmika Mandanna and Aakanksha Singh starrer ‘DevaDas’ is all set for release on September 27. On this occasion, the film has arranged press meet on Tuesday i.e. on September 25 in Hyderabad. FlyHigh Cinemas has bagged overseas rights of the film.
Speaking at the press meet, producer Ashwini Dutt said, “I am speaking before media after a long gap. Thanks to my favourite heroes Nagarjuna and Nani for all the support. Vyjayanthi Movies is proudly presenting ‘DevaDas’ and it would provide ample of entertainment for two and half hours. I am sure everyone will like the film.”
Hero Nagarjuna said, “Ashwini Dutt garu is very passionate about films and now he has support in the form of his daughters Swapna and Priyanka. Deva is an international mafia don. Instead of violence and mafia activities, more of don’s personal life and friendship with Das is showcased in the film. How Deva and Das get influenced by each other and it is made in an entertaining way. It’s not a message oriented, but there is a small message and it won’t be preachy. The chemistry between me and Nani, is all director Sriram Adittya’s magic. He handled the film perfectly and it is not a simple thing to handle such a big cast and pressure. Cinematographer Shyam Datt is the biggest contributor for ‘DevaDas’ and if I have to work with any technical team member again, It would be Shyam Dutt.”
Hero Nani said, “I play Das. He is an innocent and honest doctor. There are no ups and downs in his life and it’s a smooth journey. Unexpectedly a don becomes his friend and how he reacts and how situations change from here makes ‘DevaDas.’ Yes, I use phone a lot but whenever Nagarjuna sir is beside me, I rarely use it. But Rana, Rakul and many others have said, “I Agree” which is why the video went viral. Though there is no much truth in it. It was wonderful experience working with Nagarjuna sir. I mean I never expected this to happen. I have watched his film standing in queue at theatres and now sharing the screen with him is a huge thing and great experience.”
Actress Rashmika said, “My character is simple like a girl next door in ‘DevaDas.’ There is a surprise element to my role as well. That will be thrilling on the screen.”
Director Sriram Adittya said, “I never differentiate solo movies and multi-starrer. I enjoy doing both and it is obviously a joy to watch two superstars together. Me, Bhupathi Raja and Satyanand have worked on the script for four to five months. After owning the script, we went for the shoot.”
Actress Aakanksha Singh said, “Nagarjuna sir helped me a lot during the scenes. I was juggling with the lines and then he gave a tip. Working with Nag sir is like a dream come true and I can’t express in words.”
