Through Entertainment we can get Oxygen


Dynamic and creative director S S Rajamouli blenched his career from the film STUDENT NO. 1 as a director and till date his success is going on developing higher and higher. His earlier movies SIMHADRI, SYE, CHATRAPATHI, VIKRAMAKUDU including his recent block buster movie YAMADONGA, all were created a sensation and tremendous successful and mesmerized the entire mass. As a result he succeeded and stood as one of the best directors of Telugu Cine Field. There will be excellent settings and spends enormous budget in making films. His thoughts, deeds, settings, and stories will be powerful and never compromises in any respects. He said, he is going to direct a film for Ramcharan, which is going to produce by Allu Arvind on the banner of Gita Arts. His recent film YAMADONGA has become sensational hit and completed 50 days in about 400 centers. In this connection, he had transactions with press.

What lessons you learn from the film YAMADONGA?

I learnt that I did not lose the aplomb which kept on the audience. Further, I got full confidence that I have been succeeded in making socio fantasy film, by which I can make mythological movies without fear in future.

Is it not heavy financial burden and risk in making mythological movies? Not only expenditure and risk, but it is also very difficult in making mythological movies. However, to make such films I never go back and compromise, but I am ready to bore the burdens.

Further, it will be very difficult to highlight the magic in mythological films like fantasy films. What do you say?

When we are making films with dedication and full heartedly then, I do not think about the difficulties, but I take as a challenge and mould as per the requirements. My aim is to entertain the audience; hence I work hard and feel no need to become hurry burry. It is an example that my recent movie YAMADONGA is producing oxygen and without any sort of confusion I can proceed to make mythological movies.

What is the secret behind you and Jr. NTR in making all successful hits?

I know very well what he is and he knows what I am fully. We both came to know the taste of the successes. More than that, we both have full confidence on each other. This itself brought success for us.

NTR treats you like his brother. Then, at the time of cinema shootings how you will react with him?

The style of Tarak is entirely indifferent. He is an excellent and energetic immensely talented hero who can entertain the audience still about 40 years more. Whatever dimensions we have observed on him are very less. But he had many distinctions which will become more sharper. Hence, I used to say only one thing to Tarak that do not spill out keeping in view of the present results, and said to think what benefits can be achieved after 10 years.

Why do you thought to highlight the great legend NTR on the silver screen? Is it for impressing the fans of him?

Really speaking this film is pertaining to him. Moreover his grand son is acting. Hence, I thought it will be better to highlight these two great heroes in one frame and created a special place in the story. Whenever NTR appears on the screen entire audience enjoyed a lot by expressing their happiness with their clapping. Whatever, we thought the same 100 percentages results we got. When many of the audience expressed their unknown feelings and emotions and shared their joyfulness of pleasure with us, we also felt very emotion. Such place was occupied in the hearts of Telugu people by the great NTR until now.

Rajamouli film means it will be huge budgeted movie. What do you say?

No doubt, definitely it will be huge budgeted film, because my thoughts and stories will be in higher range. Further, if we want to entertain the audience the budget should be high including good story. Hence, I make films to entertain the audience and remain in their hearts for ever and I never compromise in that matter.

What expectations do Telugu people can keep on your films?

Telugu people can have higher expectations on my movies. I have many ideas in making historical movies. However, at present days the quantity of historical themes has been extremely reduced. But, I am planning to make one film on the historical back ground. Apart from making folk story films also.

Most of our films are made on the basis of entertainment only. Is it not possible to make any special theme stories?

Telugu people are very much interested in entertainment movies. As they have only one facility to get enjoy through cinema. 80 percentages of the people are enjoying by entertainment movies. But if I make an art film and say the audience to watch and enjoy, they will not agree by this. Hence we are compelled in making such films only. We proceed by the encouragement given by the audience and nothing contrary to them.

If it abides like this, then what guarantee is there for our Telugu films in winning National Awards?

Telugu Cine Industry also producing many art films. Otherwise how it was possible to come out the film SHANKARABHARANAM? There are many films which stood in National level and won the awards. However, most of our films are good entertainments.

In one of the press meet you have announced that after watching the film CHIRUTHA, you will direct for Charan’s film. When you are going to start?

It will be full of mass entertainment and action oriented. The film is going to produce by Allu Arvind on the banner of Gita Arts.

How do you feel about the action of Ramcharan?

His appearance is very nice. Particularly the performance of fights and steps which were performed by him was very ease and excellent. However, it will be very difficult for any artiste in appearing in close up shots, mainly in the sentiment scenes. But I did not find such difficulty in him though it is his first movie.

When you are going to start your next flick with Charan Teja?

We are planning to start the shooting, may be in the month of December 2007 and will be released by August 2008.
