Ashok
Life is very strange. Its script is more dramatic than anything that the film industry can come up with. Just around two years ago, NTR Junior was the most promising young star. He was a mass hero whose films were running left, right and center.
But somewhere down the line, the plot went haywire. But NTR Junior is a man of mettle, there is a strong streak of steel in him. He has always like a challenge and a fight.
It is what he thrives in. Give him a crisis, he will overcome it. In Ashok, he is said to have given one of his most spirited performances ever.
Ashok, in simplistic terms, is a typical entertainer with all the expected ingredients. But with Surender Reddy at the helm ---- the man who has given Kalyan Ram a new lease of life ---- the script holds special attraction.
Ashok is about a strong-willed individual who faces adversity with stoical and steely resolve.
Director Surender says the fans would see a new NTR Junior in this film. `The film would have love, family drama and emotions'.
NTR Junior has been called upon to fight and dance with gusto and style. `He has done that fabulously,' says the director.
The film's heroine is Sameera Reddy. Now, Sameera is a buzzing sort of girl who loves all out fun. The film has provided her that.
She and NTR Junior share a fine equation. The director has exploited that on the screen.
The film's muhurat, held last September, was in itself a special event.
Among others, Chandra Babu Naidu, Bala Krishna, Venkatesh, Hari Krishna and Kalyan Ram were present.
That itself showed that NTR Junior has plenty of goodwill. Now he has to use that and translate into success.
Produced by Valluripally Ramesh who has made films like Avunu Valliddaru Istapaddaru, Kabaddi Kabaddi and Pandem, under Maharshi banner, Ashok is set for release in April.
