How is 'Iddharammayilatho' movie going to be ?

I will be seen as a street performer in Europe in 'Iddhrammayilatho' . It is a very commercial and slick movie. Apart from my character, the movie itself has been shot in a very stylish way, and the slickness in the movie will definitely attract the audience. There is a lot of freshness in this movie.

Did you get connected to the point of the movie or have you acted in it only because Puri Jagannadh is the director ?

Puri and I have discussed about the point of Iddharammayilatho long before, and I liked it so much. I told him that whenever we work together , we will work on that point. After that he worked in many films and this movie has happened now.

There is a talk that so many changes had happened regarding the cast and crew of the film right from when it was started . Is it correct ?

Actually, when we have started the project, none of the technicians were finalized. But Puri Jagannadh has thought of working with a fresh crew keeping aside the regular ones. It was actually a collective decision as we have thought that this movie should have a freshness in every aspect.

What about your costume designers ?

I've thought that I will be comfortable working with Ashwin Mawle for this film. I had introduced him with 'Aarya 2' and he has done a very good job in that film. He is also working for Mahesh Babu and Sukumar's film and has worked for 'Baadshah'.

Apart from being a costume designer, he will take care of every small aspect regarding my looks. He is not only my personal costume designer, but also my personal stylist for this film.

How did you work for bagging a name as a very good dancer after Chiranjeevi ? Have you been working hard from your childhood for dances ?

You have bagged a good name as an actor apart from a dancer after Vedam . What priorities do you think about while making a movie ?

The priorities will change every time. For example, a good muscled body is compulsory for movies like Desamuduru and Badrinath. But for films like Julayi, Happy etc, good acting is enough. We have focused on only styling, songs etc, but not on my body for 'Iddharammayilatho'.

This film is being remade even in Malayalam. Have you added any elements that attract the Malayalam fans ?

We have taken some basic care, but we have not particularly added anything to attract the Malayalam audience. There is no scope for that in this film, but we will try to incorporate those things in my future films. But Amala Paul and Catherine are both Malayalies.

What are your views on awards ?

I don't believe in awards, and I think only film fare awards are faring. There will be no politics in those awards. As an actor, I know who did the best work this year, though I could not acknowledge. I know what is going on now. So I don't believe in awards.

What are your views on the over budget in the films recently ?
