Did Bangaraju put any burden in your shoulders?
Bangarraju’s prequel Soggade Chinni Nayana was a superhit. Although it was at all times a bonus, Bangaraju ought to be higher than this. Since Naga Chaitanya acted in it and we had promised a Sankranti movie to the viewers, this mission is a giant accountability for me.

The chemistry that two actors, who’re really father and son, can carry to the display screen is in a special league altogether. It’s business thread, and it at all times works in Telugu cinema. Director Kalyan Krishna labored on the plot for a few 12 months and a half.
Naga Chaitanya has to mimic you in some scenes of the movie. Have you given him any suggestion?
I advised Chaitanya to observe Soggade Chinni Nayana to grasp the nuances of the characters. Before capturing, I used to document dialogues in Godavari slang and provides them to get an concept of ​​the modulation. Also, Kalyan Krishna was an incredible assist to Chaitanya on the units.
How do you outline your affiliation with Ramya Krishnan?
It’s a golden mixture (laughs). We know one another very nicely and I take pleasure in working with them.
How was it working with director Kalyan Krishna?
Kalyan Krishna is straightforward to take care of, and I really like working with him. He is superb together with his pen.
What is your view on the ticket worth challenge in Andhra Pradesh?
As I mentioned earlier, the modified ticket costs will work for our movie, and if there may be any hike, it will likely be a bonus for us. In April, the AP authorities issued a authorities order on ticket costs, and discussions have been happening in Telangana as nicely. It was solely after we understood the state of affairs and calculated the income potential that we began filming for Bangaraju.
