A day before the release of King, director Sreenu Vytla meets the journos and lets us know about his new romantic entertainer with Nagarjuna. Here are excerpts from his chitchat…
In one word what is King?
King is pucca mass entertainer - a blend of my style and Nagarjuna’s style. Paisa Vasool movie and will be liked by all sections of audiences.
Is it true that Nag is doing many roles in King?
Nagarjuna dons three roles in the movie that of Bottu Seenu (mass-type guy), Sarath (a software engineer) and King (a descent of erstwhile royal family). I am not telling that Nag plays three different roles or these three characters are different facets of the same guy. You have to watch it on the silver screen to find out.
How was it working with Nagarjuna?
He is my favourite actor. It was a great experience working with him as he has given me freedom to do what I wanted to. I would say he is only star who has given me free hand in all my 10 films so far.
Why did you include six more heroines in a song apart from two lead actresses? What is inspiration behind it?
The song comes in the crucial part of the movie and it is integral with the storyline. Although we got the inspiration from Om Shanti Om, it is not added just for the sake of glamour or an attraction.
Tell us about Brahmanandam character?
I know everyone expects a great role for Brahmanandam in my films now what with he has done some superb roles in my earlier films – Dhee and Ready. Keeping these expectations, we have created a role for him that would bring down the house. His character name is Jayasurya and he composes songs.
What are your next films?
Will be doing Venky’s movie immediately and it would start in March. We are finishing up a great script for him. Then I have movie for Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya that will be produced again by D Siva Prasad Reddy. He is the one producer with whom I felt so comfortable.
