Watch out for Rajanna's Mallamma
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 17 2011]
Who do you think is going to keep you glued to the screens when Nag would not be seen for the first 30 minutes of the movie? It is Annie, a 10-year old tot, whom Nagarjuna describes as extraordinary performer. She will be seen as Rajanna's daughter in the movie. The girl is the biggest star of the film after Nag (excluding, of course, the behind-the-screen heroes, Vijayendra Prasad, Keeravani and Rajamouli).
The girl is playing Mallamma, who loses her father even before she was born and mother, as a young girl. She grows up singing folk songs, much to the chagrin of the wicked dorasani. When she is hounded out of the village, she trudges on a path to Delhi to present the case of her village to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Nag says that he finds the girl's character a significant aspect of the film. Luckily, the girl (who was seen as Ravi Teja's daughter in Vikramarkudu) has given a realistic performance. So much so, Nag feels unhappy that he did not get to share any scene with her.
The now-famous Gijigadu number in the film would be played for most part of the film when the girl is seen. In fact, it the theme song for the girl.
In a film that is high voltage for most part, the girl's character will offer a whiff of sobriety.
