The stakes are running high on director Sukumar's upcoming movie Nannaku Prematho. The filmmaker, who carved unmatched versatility with his films exudes confidence on the NTR starrer and says the film explores very strong emotional core. Speaking to scribes Sukumar said,"Nannaku Prematho is a different film. I, Tarak and cinematographer Vijay couldn't control our emotions while working for the film. This movie is perfectly woven with wonderful emotion between father and son."

Talking about his last outing 1-Nenokkadine, Sukumar made some candid confessions. "More than anyone else, the fate of 1-Nenokkadine disappointed me. Mahesh Babu and producers 14 Reels gave me a lot of freedom but I couldn't match their expectations and delivered a failure. I feel like I deceived Mahesh. My only aim is to make a path-breaking hit with Mahesh provided the Superstar gives me an opportunity to direct him again."

Produced by BVSN Prasad, Nannaku Prematho is slated for frand release on January 13.
