'Rogue' Trailer Launch Gallery

Puri Jagannadh yesterday proudly introduced his debutante hero Ishan at a special event held to release the trailer of 'Rogue'.

Speaking at the event, lyricist Bhaskarabhatla said, "Puri Jagannadh is known to unveil mass heroes. I am sure Ishan will become a big star after this movie."

Music director Sunil Kashyap said, "It was a beautiful journey working with Puri garu. I know well how much he loves Ishan. This is yet another 'Chantigaadi prema katha'. Everybody will enjoy this movie."

Ali said, "Puri is my brother-director. He knows well how to make movies that the audience will like. He has presented the pure Telugu guy Ishan in a new way."

Producer CR Manohar said, "Ishan was undergoing training under Sathyanand garu when Puri Jagannadh saw his pic and told me he wants to direct him. I took Ishan to him. During the first meeting itself, the director zeroed in on him. Ishan is my Babai's son. I won't forget Puri telling me he will take care of Ishan like a father. He has told me he wants to do three movies with Ishan. He has plans to introduce him into Bollywood as well. I have watched 'Rogue' four times. The film is really good."

Puri Jagannadh said, "I was more excited about Ishan than about the story of 'Rogue'. He has all the qualities that a hero should have. He may not have a Wikipedia page today, but in near future, Google will throw up results saying Ishan is one of the biggest stars in South India. I am as happy as K Raghavendra Rao garu was when he introduced Sridevi. 'Rogue' has come out really well. Mannara Chopra, Angela and Thakur Anoop Singh have done a good job. Sunil Kashyap's music is very good."

Ishan said, "I am standing in front of you only because of my parents and family. Puri garu is like my family now. He has always stood beside me. Manohar anna is the real hero of 'Rogue'. I am very excited. It felt great working with the whole team."
