'Alias Janaki', the all-rookie film produced by a second timer Neelima Tirumalashetty is all set to hit the screens and the web paralelly on the 26th July. Be it the title, be it the names that are distantly but distinctly associated with the film or be it the music, or the enterprising move by the producers in releasing it online, the film has already made the eyebrows raise. Now, will it be able to translate into Box Office collections, is anybody's guess.
IndiaGlitz caught up with the female lead Anisha Ambrose to know her feelings and express the same. The elegant Anisha, who is already doing her second with the production house, is bubbly about the film, her own role, the producer, her chemistry with the crew, co-star and life parallel to cinema.
Hello to all IndiaGlitz viewers. I am Anisha debuting with Alias Janaki, to be released 26th July. Please watch this all debutants film and share your feedback.
I am a normal Facebook girl
I completed my MBA in 2011 and joined Dell but when this offer came in, I thought I should give this a shot. I was casually posing for a couple of my friends on Facebook which Mrs. Neelima had seen and offered me an audition for Arere.. which is my second film. However, we had a gap before that would happen so, I was signed for Alias Janaki
Befriended Camera before my first shot
It's the lot of photoshoots I did casual and professional, before I faced the movie cam that helped me in preparing for the big one. The first shot was little nervous but it flowed well after that. My character contours in Alias Janaki
I play Kshetra, a happy go lucky, spoiled by her parents, know-it-all and rebellious girl.
Ok, here is the story
'Alias Janaki' is all about Janaki Ram, the village guy, bought up with values given by his father, a school teacher, comes to city and his journey of his problems but how he sticks to his values and convictions.
The team helped me
Though Rahul is debuting, he belongs to a great family of actors. It runs in his blood. And director Daya worked with Mr. Pawan Kalyan for quite a few movies. They helped me pick up and perform as the production progressed
The Music is soul stirring and Foot-tapping
Music tracks are all fantastic. Sravan did a fabulous job and listening to the tracks you will know the kind of a person Sravan is. The album is already a hit and I wish it adds to the movies openings.
My pick of the album
My pick is 'Konchem Konchem...'
Neelima was a fabulous lady and my pillar of strength...
I come from a conservative Christian family and Mrs. Neelima is the reason why my parents accepted my taking up this career. There are good and bad sides of the industry but the bad is projected more. So, we were apprehensive initially but when I came with my parents to meet Mrs. Neelima, we were floored by the professionalism and instantly took the decision.
Even after I auditioned, there was a gap before itd taken off. I was in touch with Mrs. Neelima and I was knowing why the delay was for.
Stardom comes with a package...
Stardom comes with a package which has both good and bad. So, I take both of them in my stride and move on. But as an actor, I look at my role making a difference... adding a value... sending a message...
Rahul, a fabulous co-star
Rahul is a fantastic person, completely down to earth in spite of the fact that he hails from the mega family. Looks like a ruffian but so soft at heart. On the sets, I learnt a lot from watching him act.
Never felt Daya was a debutant.
Mr. Daya was very quiet and focused. He is so clear headed, we would come everyday to the sets, unrehearsed and just deliver what hed direct us to. He had all the crew members understand on one page and perform the same.
DP had a lot of beautiful filters for me...
Sujith had done a great job, he showed me ten times more beautiful than what I actually look. He had an abundant experience of short film making so, it was a cake walk for him handling the camera.
Pipeline...
I haven't signed anything beyond this and Arere
I heard a few scripts but didnt sign any. Bollywood is not in my purview and I am happy with Tollywood
