He is very happy at Greeku Veerudu releasing on the day the Indian cinema will complete 100 years . In his words...

I am very happy at it

I am very happy that Greeku Veerudu will be releasing on the day our Indian cinema completes 100 years. It is not planned actually. The film should have released in March and then on April 26th. But due to some reasons it has not happened. But I came to know about this yesterday and I felt excited about it.

About Censor

I have attended the inaugural function of the 100 years of Indian cinema celebrations. They have shown a silent film ‘ A Throw the dice’ and I was surprised when watching it. The movie has upto 4 lip-lock scenes and the censor then had approved it. I don’t know why the censor is so strict now. Some elements should definitely be restricted. But the trend is changing now and it is not fair to follow the rules of 1952 now. When Bollywood movies are releasing here, why are the rules different here and then.

Double meaning dialogues are increasing now as they are not allowing some general dialogues. It is not a good sign and double meaning dialogues are more dangerous than single ones.

About Greeku Veerudu

Greeku Veerudu is a very good family entertainer like Santhosam, Manmadhudu and Mr. Perfect. All are good persons in this film, and if there is a character with negative shades, it is mine. My character doesn’t believe in marriage and thinks that love is equal to pain. It is a very good romantic entertainer in Dasarath’s style.

At Present trend of movies

Serious subjects no more attract the people now and they are loving only good comedy entertainers. I don’t know I can do a serious film like ‘Shiva’ now. At present, we have to entertain the audience even in songs and I think it is a good sign.

About his beard and new steps

I discussed with Sachin, my personal hair stylist for 20 years now, at Manea Salon for a new look. We had googled many styles. As I have a face cut similar to Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt and Robert Downy Jr, we decided for a style similar to them.

I have just tried some new steps in this movie and I am not supposed to compare with young actors in dances. There are many good dancers like Ramcharan, Jr.NTR etc for us.

About Dasarath

Dasarath is a very calm going and intelligent director. He came to me with the script of Santhosham, with the intention of selling it and he doesn’t want to direct it. I was really impressed with his excellent narration skills and I asked him to direct the film his own. He was frightened and hesitated to direct at first. But I discussed with the producer S.Gopal Reddy and said we have to encourage him, though he has no experience at all. After gaining confidence, Dasarath agreed to direct the film. He has improved a lot now and has done an outstanding work.

About Nayanathara

Working with an actress like Nayanathara is always very comfortable. She does a lot of work herself and she is a brilliant actress.

She couldn't be blamed for not attending the audio function as she has prior commitments and the event was not pre planned on that day.

He impressed me with his dialogues

Harsha is a very good writer and he impressed me with his dialogues. So we selected him as the writer for the film in which our father, Chaithu and me are acting. I’ve seen the movie ‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe’ and his dialogues are really very good.

About Naga Chaitanya's career and Akhil's entry

The output of 'Tadakha' has come very good and I am very happy at it. He will also act in the remake of Hello Brother and I am excited about it.

I have questioned by many when is the entry of Akhil and we have not planned yet. They are also irritating me, asking when I will retire.

Politics

Recently, much hype is being created that I will enter the politics. I have no such plans at all and they will not suite me. When TDP was established, I remember there had been much pressure on our father to enter the politics. I am clearly saying to all who are asking about my political entry that I will not enter the politics ever.
