Ahead of its theatrical release, lead actor Mouli Tanuj Prashanth interacted with the media and shared several interesting details about the film.
On the Title ‘DNK’
Speaking about the film’s title, Mouli revealed that the original title, ‘Donga Na Kodaka’, perfectly suited the story. However, anticipating censor-related objections, the makers eventually changed it to ‘DNK’ following objections from the censor authorities.
He also expressed happiness over Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja launching the film’s trailer. As part of the promotional campaign, the team toured Andhra Pradesh and received a very encouraging response from audiences.
An Out-and-Out Entertainer with Crime and Comedy
Explaining why he chose this particular story, Mouli said that the film is an entertaining subject that keeps audiences engaged from beginning to end. Although it revolves around crime, the narrative presents the situations in a humorous and entertaining manner, ensuring plenty of laughs.
He further explained the film’s basic storyline. The protagonist is a young man who gets addicted to easy money and turns to gambling, believing it to be a quick way to earn money. However, his decisions eventually push him into heavy debts. To escape his financial troubles, he commits a theft, which leads to a series of unexpected problems and difficult situations. The film revolves around how he deals with these challenges.
Production Experience Was a Learning Opportunity
Responding to producer Ravi’s comments that his involvement in production helped reduce the film’s overall costs, Mouli said it was the producer’s generosity to acknowledge his contribution.
He explained that the entire team worked together with great coordination. His involvement in the production process was primarily driven by his interest in learning about filmmaking and production management. Mythri Anil took care of the major responsibilities, while Mouli participated mainly to gain experience. He added that production requires considerable skill and knowledge, and this film gave him a valuable opportunity to understand the process.
Working with Ali Was a Wonderful Experience
Talking about his experience working with veteran actor Ali, Mouli said it was a wonderful experience sharing screen space with him. Ali’s presence added considerable value to the character. He also mentioned that audiences would find Ali’s role particularly interesting, as the actor has rarely been seen in father roles. The sequences featuring him have come out exceptionally well.
Fresh Music and Interesting Twists
Mouli assured that the film offers plenty of entertainment along with several interesting twists. Music director Sinjith has delivered good songs, which audiences will enjoy in theatres. He also praised the background score, describing it as fresh and appealing.
Sandeep Master Helped Him with Dance
Speaking about his dance performance in the film, Mouli revealed that he had no prior experience with dancing. However, choreographer Sandeep Master supported him throughout the process and trained him for a special dance number. He expressed confidence that the song has turned out exceptionally well and will entertain audiences in theatres.
Interesting Character Set Against a Vizag Backdrop
Mouli also spoke about his character Bablu, describing it as an interesting one. The character belongs to Visakhapatnam, and the story is also set against a Vizag backdrop, which helped him connect better with the character.
Interested in Direction, But Not Anytime Soon
When asked about his plans to become a director, Mouli said he is definitely interested in direction. However, he believes filmmaking is a huge responsibility and needs considerable preparation. He clarified that directing a film is not something he plans to pursue immediately and that it will take more time.
Regarding his future projects, Mouli expressed his interest in exploring fresh stories and entertaining subjects. He revealed that he has already listened to a few scripts and is looking forward to taking them forward.
With an engaging combination of crime, comedy, twists and music, ‘DNK’ is gearing up for its theatrical release on November 13.
