Introduced to the industry as the sister of one of the top most heroines of T – Town, KajalAgarrwal, NishaAgarrwal is barely two films old in the industry along with her recent second release, ‘Solo’ that has been getting good amount of reviews as of now. Catch up Andhrawishesh’s chat with Nisha who talks much about ‘Solo’ and more; About her role in ‘Solo’ I play a Medical Student who is simple and career oriented. She has only one aim in her life. she aspires to be a doctor and wants nothing else to come on her way. But she encounter s certain situations and people who make her think about them. Now, what kind of a decision she takes, and her moves take her into which phase of life, you have to see on silver screen. Rather than this, I am not going to tell you much about my role, as it would reveal the story. But, I can strongly say, ‘Solo’ is a movie that caters to family, tradition, values in life and with loved ones, and also certain strained relationships. Particularly, the sequences featuring me and Prakash Rah ji can be related with almost every father – daughter watching the film. ‘Solo’ caters to every jorner of the audience and the day to day increase in the success of the film itself talks how a success ‘Solo’ has managed to achieve. About Rohit He is a dedicated Actor and most passionate about films. all the time he concentrates on the work he is doing and even his shooting is done, he used to just be around to see how the shoot is going. During the climax sequence, that we shot for 2 nights Rohit was around during the shoot and even helped me out to take up my lines as I am not well versed with the dialogues. I am happy to work with such a professional Actor, right in my second film as a Heroine. And even my director Parashuram and Prakash Raj sir as well helped me in getting the right expression and right dialogues. There is a really very big sequence in the film featuring me and Prakash Raj Sir. Thanks to all the team members of the film as they made my life easy with their support. About the director Parashuram Sir is an amazingly talented person. He is a very good script writer, an excellent director and most important the best critic to his work. the way he used to analyze and anticipate each sequence is worth mentioning. ‘Solo’ has been shaped up by the director as a complete entertainer. It has drama in it, comedy from the first to last frame, emotion and romance. Making a story, satisfying all these jorners and keeping up to the audience expectation is really very difficult that has been achieved by our director. He is a very meticulous director; he comes to the shoot prepared, explains the same to you and helps you to get into the skin of the character. It is not just he is bothered with the completion of the work but doing the same, perfect. He is a director with lot of clarity and makes you clear as to what you should do, why getting into the depth of the role you are playing is so important and how you should imbibe the role in you. Family and sister’s involvement in choosing the film Well, be it kajal or me, me, sister, mom and dad sit down and discuss to accept or not to accept any film, what would be the pros and corns of doing that film and in what way the film would be advantageous to our career. I and my sister would not get much time to spend together as we would be shooting in different places. But, I watch her movies a lot and try to imbibe all those good qualities about her acting. We suggest each other on our looks and performance, every now and then. Our parents support along with our work has made us successful today. About KajalAgarrwal’s B – Town debut Very happy for her. Her debut film in Hindi, ‘Singham’ has declared to be a success and she is being getting a lot more offers from B – Town. I have learnt how to manage the work and yet not forget the land that made you a success from Kajal. Apart from her performance, I have loved watching Ajay Devgan, Prakash Raj Sir in the film as well. About comedy in the film Comedy is the integral part of the film. it is so very interesting and ‘in’ the film and runs throughout the film, that you would not feel out of the place watching the comedy in the film. all the senior comedians like Bramhanandamgaru and younger lot like Srinivas Reddy, did their level best in making people laugh. In fact, the Heroes’ characterization is very lively that you can relate yourself or your neighbor with the on screen characters. Comedy is so natural in the film. More about ‘Solo’ Well, as of now, I can’t talk much about the film, neither my role nor other characters. I can only say, ‘Solo’ is a Solid love story with excellent screenply and direction, proper placing of the roles, such a fantastic music scores and RR by Mani Sharma and Nara Rohit in a complete different role. Go, watch ‘Solo’ in theaters today. you will not get diassappointed! Next Celeb on Chit Chat! Since she discovered love for films, she has been a great fan of this Actor.

She also talks about the Music and her favorite song in the film. Catch this film maker talking her heart out!

‘Bejawada’ a film with all the emotions – Director Vivek Krishna December 01, 2011 12:18
Director of one of the most controversial films of the year titled ‘Bejawada’ Vivek Krishna speaks about the film and all those aspects behind the Camera, catering to ‘Bejawada’ that is scheduled for a release on 1st December that is today. well, there is some more time to let you guys know the review of the film, that is all set to screen in the theaters with huge opening collections. As of now, let’s know the experience of Vivek Krishna, who is debuting as a director with ‘Bejawada’; Journey of ‘Bejawada’ from ‘BejawadaRowdylu’ This 1 year long Journey has been full of experiences. Some that could be cherished throughout the life and some that have come across the learning experience. Right from RGV has announced the title, to the first song of the film being put on net to the film started and till the shooting being completed and even on the release date today, there were lot of controversies. Initially, there was a problem that we faced while shooting in Vijayawada, even though major of the people supported us, a mess created by certain set of people, after that these guys had a problem with the title that they started taking personally and went to the extent of legal proceedings to change the title from ‘BejawadaRowdylu’ to ‘Bejawada’. Well, this was most hurting. And even today, many are of the opinion that the film is based on the ‘Rowdysm’ that was much prevailing in Vijayawada that too in 60’s. we tried explaining one and all many times that ‘Bejawada’ is just a story of a guy who has that instinct of fighting against the wrong. ‘Bejawada’ is a story of a guy, who is a good lover, brother, son and a personality who cannot with stand the wrong that could happen to him or to anyone in front of him. It is a story of a common guy with lots of guts in him. It is not like any other story that is based on large amount of ‘faction’ or ‘Rowdysm’. Also, there are many catchy one liners and particularly the dialogues of the film will also be a highlight. You will agree with me once you see the film. As a debut director, I am more than happy making a debut with a film like ‘Bejawada’. Now, this film has to decide my existence in the film Industry or a way back to Kakinada (laughs)… RGV’s involvement in the direction Oh! Even I asked him n number of times to give his suggestions and involve in the direction, but he chose to be a producer for this project. It is not just this, right when I went to him with the story of ‘Bejawada’ he liked the concept, confirmed I am doing a film under his banner and went to Bombay. He is not just a successful director but understands the taking and style of another director as well. Another producer of the film, Kiran also has been a very good friend of mine from 13 years. When I and kiran used to meet, we used to discuss how our kind of a film would be. And in ‘Bejawada’ you can see the same. Choosing Naga Chaitanya for the role Initially, many opposed the idea of casting Naga Chaitanya for such a powerful role, the reason being, this is the 5th film of him and past films apart from ‘Dhada’ have been a romantic entertainers. But, somehow there was always a instinct me that told me only Naga Chaitanya could do the justice for this role. On top of this, even Chaitu is looking for a action packed yet family entertainer to work with. It did not take much of a time to make Chaitu agree to do the film. Here I have to make one thing clear. Many are comparing the role of Chaitu with that of his father, ‘King’ Nagarjuna’s role in RGV’s directorial ‘Shiva’. In ‘Shiva’ Nag played a role of a College going guy who becomes tough and fights against the evils in a due course of time. In ‘Bejawada’ Chaitu plays a guy who has an instinct of fighting against the bad right from the first frame of the film. I only say people to come to the theater to watch the film, without any expectations or comparisons. We bet the audience would enjoy watching ‘Bejawada’. I would like to mention a incident over here. We were shooting an action sequence; Naga Chaitanya was supposed to break a glass. He was so very involved in the sequence that with all the force he had broken the glass; the glass broke into pieces and his hand got cut. But, till the time I Okayed the shot, he did not even let us sense he was injured. Chaitu had a deep cut in his palm and we immediately have taken him to the Hospital. Then I have felt, without a dedication towards work no family would sustain from past 70 years in the industry and that too in each generation giving a super star to Telugu cinema. About Amala Paul I have seen a Tamil film of Amala that made me to take a decision of personally meeting her. I went to the shooting location at Coimbatore and was surprised to see her who is very different from the film I have seen. And in ‘Bejawada’ you would see a different Amala Paul who would be more beautiful, natural in her performance and most important unlike many heroines today, Amala will have a lot to do in the film, not less than the hero and the other roles played by veteran Actors like Prabhu, Kota SrinivasRao, ‘Subhaleka’ Sudhakar, Ajay and others in the film. Other aspects of the film The Camera work is the highlight of the film. We have shot certain sequences in Digital Camera and some other sequences in the regular film Camera, based on the importance of the sequences. But, the audience cannot see any difference and find out the same while watching the film. Another asset of the film is the back ground score and the Music that caters to all jorners of the audience. There are close to Six music directors who have worked on the Music and RR of the film. I must agree that I have only done 50 percent of my job in shaping up the film, the remaining 50 percent was done by the Music directors and stunt masters of the film. We have catered each type of stunt to each master, and even this makes the film to move ahead. In short, ‘Bejawada’ is a complete team work. About 2012 resolution Well, 2011 of my year has been filled with ‘Bejawada’, and 2012 will be based on how people would receive this film. As of now, just waiting to receive the first response of the film. Andhrawishesh team wishes all the very best to director Vivek Krishna and aims ‘Bejawada’ should be a success, after all there is a lot of hard work and dedication involved in making this flick!

Interview with Hero Nikhil November 26, 2011 13:42
Though there were three other main leads in ‘Happy Days’ the role played by Nikhil as Rajesh was declared one of the highlights of the film. infact, Nikhil was the only hero apart from VarunSandhesh who is still in demand in T – Town. His latest release ‘Veedu – Theda’ has been getting mixed reviews. Andhrawishesh team met this Actor, who spoke about the situations and the journey that led to ‘Veedu – Theda’, and much more… About the title In one of the recent interviews, my director Chinni Krishna has said he got the inspiration to the title after seeing me (laughs). Probably, this could be true. Once it so happened that during the shooting of the film, I have promised my director that I would be there at location by 5 am, but ended up landing at 7 am, so may be with these kinds of actions of mine, director might have got a thought for this title. Even during the Audio function of the film, he said he generally has a habit of writing the characters, but he has found a character like me (laughs). After seeing the film, you would understand how apt the title is for my character and in turn the film. Does Nikhil relates with the title or the role Oh! Definitely not. Please don’t categorize me as one peculiar character in real life by seeing my reel life appearance. ‘Veedu – Theda’ is a film that revolves around a guy who believes in doing all the regular things different. We have tried showing the same in the posters of the film as well. As a part of the film, I have worked with close to 40 comedy artists in the film and throughout the film, I would be becoming a pain to all the other roles. May be this could be the reason for the title or as I said earlier, might be my director has sensed the difference in me from others and kept the title. And I am not a massy person at all. I am like you, normal, fun living person. It is just that the kind of image I am carrying right from my first film ‘Happy days’ and the type of roles I am playing make me a massy hero. ‘Veedu – Theda’ a film for mass audience – Nikhil’s comment Well, when one of my successful films ‘Yuvatha’ released, initially seeing the title of the film, for the first three weeks there were younger crowd coming to the theaters. But, from the third week onwards I have seen more family audience coming to watch the film. it is just that initially for some weeks people would consider the jorner of the film with the title. But, once the publicity spreads and people are convinced to believe there is content in the film, then for sure not only youth, but even family audience would come to the theaters to watch the film. Moreover, ‘Veedu – Theda’ is more or less like a marriage and a comedy entertainer. So, who does not love to watch comedy? Out of the entire unit, who is ‘Theda’ for Nikhil? Okay, I would say my director Chinni Krishna (laughs). It is not that I am taking his name for the heck of it. It is just because I have not seen a multi-talented person like him. He is the same person who has entertained us by enacting a role of a warden in the film ‘KottaBangaruLokam’. He is an actor, writer, dialogue writer, dance master and what not. Moreover, he is a most admirable by director V.V. Vinayak. During the Audio release function, V.V. Vinayak has wished Chinni Krishna to be as successful as him. What more compliment than this can be? Reason for accepting the film Totally, my director. He has a skill of narrating the story in a most interesting way and depicting the same on screen without fail. As a actor I have done many films out of which many were not so successful. Then I have learnt to be very careful while choosing the scripts. In this scenario, I have met Chinni Krishna who narrated the story for 2 and a half hours and believe me I was laughing and doing nothing all this time. I mean to say, I found the story so entertaining and trusted on the film to be a success, and the director a person with utmost knowledge. All these put together made me accept ‘Veedu – Theda’. Experience after watching the film I just wanted to celebrate that moment with the bottle of Champaign. So I did with the entire team members of the film. Certain sequences handled by the director where so matured that they were far better when compared to the story narrated. The entire film was like complete meals for me. I am so happy to do this film and move a step ahead as an Actor. with this success, I wish many more offers to act in good films under some well known directors would for sure come my way. About that ‘Drunk and Drive’ issue As I said you, I had celebrated that evening with the entire team members of the film and had two sips of Champaign. On my way home, there was a security check that was going on and at this time I was being accused by the Police for being drunk. What I suggest is, be it a sip or a two, drink and drive is always not safe. I consider this mistake as learning and hereafter would be more responsible as a person and as a actor as well. Andhrawishesh team wishes aall the very best to this young Actor!

‘I was not bothered to know ‘Mogudu’s Story’ says Tapsee! November 18, 2011 12:12
‘I was not bothered to know ‘Mogudu’s Story’ says Tapsee!From Engineering to Heroine in films, Tapsee has made her dream in reality and today has n number of experiences to share with us. Though she has done comparatively less films in all these years of her career, we can remember her work. with her own logic of choosing the roles and films, Tapsee has bagged one of the important role in much well known director of Telugu Cinema, Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Mogudu’. We cannot stop talking about Tapsee’s role in the film, after watching the same. Andhrawishesh presents you the chat we had with Tapsee, where the Actress talked about K.V (Krishna Vamsi), ‘Mogudu’ and Gopi Chand of course; About the journey with ‘Mogudu’ One fine morning, I get a call from Krishna Vamsi Sir’s office and the manager tells me, I have been chosen to play a lead role in K.V Sir’s next film. Without even I second thought, I have gone to K.V Sir’s office and signed the agreement. Only in the first meeting I have known about the story and my character in the film. I suppose almost every heroine would dream to work under K.V Sir’s direction and me getting this life time opportunity, right in the initial stages of my career, I am blessed. Moreover, I am even happy to play such an important role in ‘Mogudu’. When it is a Krishna Vamsi’s film, it is for sure that mostly the story line would be based on family entertainment. This way, you can act in most appreciable jorner of film and get closer to the audience as well. The same happened with ‘Mogudu’. The film released on 4th November, started picking up its collections as more and more audience prefer to watch this film along with their family. I am blessed to work with such great technicians, right when I made my debut in RaghavendraRao Sir’s ‘JhummandiNaadam’. About mixed results of ‘Mogudu’ This is bound to happen with any film. It is not necessary that every film would satisfy all the set of audience. Neither the film is made catering only certain set of audience. if we see the film from a director’s perspective we would find almost every film, convincing. And you can’t see the film from audience perspective as it is very unpredictable to decide what audience prefers to watch at any given point of time. but, history says that the success rate of many family entertainers is comparatively high to that of other jorner of films. so, considering this in mind, we have to decide the success of any film and not based on the mouth publicity. ‘Mogudu’is definitely declared to be a success, b’cos we can see the crowd pulling to the theaters. After all, it is Krishna Vamsi who has directed a family entertainer after a gap, so who would want to give the film a miss. Likes in regard to Krishna Vamsi’s style of film making After working with him, I felt he is the address for family entertainers. Every point on the film he shows and every aspect in the story has a logic that makes you think. He considers the story to be the soul of the film. he is in love with every minute aspect of cinema and that definitely shows in his style of film making. To work according to his phase initially, I have worked very hard to emote the right expressions he wants. He is such a director who would not even think of compromising until he gets the desired output. I have heard Krishna Vamsi’s style of film making earlier, but got an opportunity to experience the same with ‘Mogudu’. Every audience at some point or the other would connect the film to their lives while watching ‘Mogudu’. This learning experience would definitely help me to give the best of my performance in the films, I do here after. About her connect with the sequence in ‘Mogudu’ (Laughs) As such I have not faced either of the situations in the film with my life. But, I really liked a line Krishna Vamsi has depicted in the film, ‘Every Man can become a Husband, but every husband cannot become a Man’. Not only this, the takeoff of the film, the emotions that depict every role to be right in their own place, the struggle that faced by the lead roles, what not, every aspect of the film is convincing. We in the film did not try to give a definition of perfect Husband, wife, family and relation. We tried to project how every person changes according to the situation. This has made the film appear more close to the audience. We neither exaggerated any situation. Everything in the film would be very natural and normal, it is just that the audience have to decide, if they could connect with these situations or not. All these perfect sequences put together has given as ‘Mogudu’ to the audience. Working with Gopi Chand He is such a well behaved and soft spoken person and most important a fantastic human being. In the film, I and Gopi have many combination sequences that demanded a lot of co – ordination and performance from both of us. No doubt, he is a great actor, along with the same he is a best co – star to work with. He helped me a lot to get the best of the performance. Since I am not well worse with the language, he was the one who suggested me to tell the dialogue in Hindi first to get the expression and then tell the same in Telugu. This advice is a great help for me, all through my career. I could only emote the best performance with his help along with K.V Sir’s guidance. But yes, out of all other heroes I worked with Gopi Chand is a very shy and reserved person (laughs). About Shradda Das, complementing on Tapsee as a Good Human being and she (shradda) did not see a good human being like tapsee in her career Ohh! That is so sweet of her. I have seen Shradda as an Actress, in the films like ‘Darling’ and ‘Aarya – 2’. We gelled very well while shooting for ‘Mogudu’. I feel Shradda has complemented me as a Good Human Being as she is a good human being first and only then can see good in rest of the others. I suppose we have changed that notion of no two heroines can be good friends (laughs). Well it is not only that, but Tapsee has also changed the notion that we have on today’s heroines are arrogant and itt behaved. Long way to go Tapsee!

Interview With Naga chaitanya November 15, 2011 16:39
It was very easy for him to make a debut into Telugu film Industry as a Hero, being a Star Kid. But, later on, it was completely his hard work and his wise ness in choosing the films that made him attain his set of audience today, even though he is barely 5 films old. His way of choosing the films and planning a career, ‘King’ Nagarjuna’s Elder Son and Movie Moughal Dr. D. Rama Naidu’s Grand Son, Naga Chaitanya talks to Andhrawishesh team about his much awaited and the most controversial film, RGV’s ‘Bejawada’ and much more, when the Hero came to attend a promotional event. To know what’s with Chiatu, read further; About ‘Bejawada’ Well, there are many expectations, and news surrounded about the film and its story, since Ram GopalVarma has announced the film. But, this is just a fiction work that has done based on certain real time situations, that happened in Vijayawada, couple of years ago. As of now, I am not allowed to speak anything more than this, about ‘Vijayawada’. I can confidently say one thing; I have got to play one of the powerful roles in my entire career as an Actor, in this film. As soon as I have agreed to work with Ramuji, one film that came into everyone’s mind was Ramuji’s block buster success with Dad (‘King’ Nagarjuna) ‘Shiva’. This and the story line put together are creating a very big hype among the public about ‘Bejawada’ these days. On top of this, the trailers and the songs that released recently are getting good reviews. Hope even the film would be accepted by the audience. About the role I have definitely experimented by doing a role in this film. the characterization, the takeoff of the role, the transformation of various emotions, all these put together has given me a plat form to perform a never before done role. I had to work hard to get into the skin of the character as it was not so easy to get the grip. But, the director of the film, Vivek Krishna and Ramuji have helped me a lot. I play one of the powerful roles that is a dream for any new comer as well as a challenge to live up to the increased expectations. Our entire team has done their best. Now it is the audience call. About the issues in regard to the title The title that was announced for the film, initially, ‘BejawadaRowdilu’, started becoming not acceptable by many of Vijayawada natives, as they took the title personally, and had their on notion about the story and the screenplay of the film. we tried to convince them that the film is purely a work of fiction based on some real time incidents, but they refused to listen and approached the Court. We had to obey the decision and change the title to ‘Bejawada’. Not only this, we had issues while shooting for the film in Vijayawada initially, as well. But, throughout this year, we had faced each and every problem, worked on giving the best output. I am just eager and waiting for the release of the film. Working with Amala Paul She is an extra ordinary actress. I have liked her performance in the film, ‘Nanna’ itself. When my director said I will be working with her, I was very excited. She is a professional performer and did her best in this flick. Particularly, there were certain song sequences that actually highlighted our chemistry. The entire film along with the song sequences was picturized too good. The film is a perfect combo of technicalities and story and screenplay. About the career graph Well, it is too early to talk about. ‘Bejawada’ being my 5th film, I am still working on sustaining in this industry. As you know, the image of Star Son, would work good enough unless you make a debut, later it is all about your work and worth and how people would receive you. When I have made my debut with the film ‘Josh’, many commented that I did not suit to the character and required a lot more transformation to prove to be a hero. ‘Em Maya Chesaave’ made me taste what a success actually means, ‘100% Love’ added to the success, ‘Dhada’ did not reached the expectations however. And now, ‘Bejawada’, that would be releasing in the theaters soon. All these films have taught me a lot. Today, I am able to decide what role to do and what not, to what extent should I experiment in choosing the roles, how the release and the success of the film is important to each and every technician associated with that film and also to the industry as well and lot more. Today, my main motto before accepting any role would be that role and the film should entertain the audience to the core. I have decided to go further step by step, and learn with each and every film. I aspire to transform as such an Actor, where people should recognize my worth. Future projects As of now, I have just signed a film titled ‘Auto Nagar Surya’. As the name itself suggests the film will for sure be a pakka commercial entertainer. The regular shoot of this Deva Katta directorial, who proved his worth by making a critically acclaimed film like ‘Prasthanam’, would be starting in a while. Apart from this film, there are other projects in pipeline, the details of the same would be known soon. How would ‘Bejawada’ be As everyone think, ‘Bejawada’ is not a story that just highlights one factor of ‘Rowdism’. This is a story that carries various forms of human emotion that makes a person to transform into a totally different personality. Every jorner of audience can relate with the film. and our entire unit is keeping our fingers crossed for the release and the result of the film. hope we succeed on the hard work we have done.Andhrawishesh team wishes the entire unit of ‘Bejawada’ all the very best and hopes the film would entertain all the Movie buffs, including us.

Shruthi talks on '7th Sense' October 28, 2011 11:32
Though her debut film, did not fare well at the box office, despite a huge star cast and all the required commercial elements, ‘Luck’ always favored this Actress. Making a debut in B – Town she soon has shed the recognition of Veteran Actor Kamal Hassan’s daughter and in all the languages she is acting, made her own identity as Shruthi Hassan. And to achieve all this, it did not even take much of a time to this Actress. As of now, Shruthi is enjoying the success of her Trilingual flick, ‘7th Sense’ with which this actress made her debut in Tamil Film Industry. Andhrawishesh met this actress, who was rushing to attend one of the promotional event in regard to ‘7th Sense’. Out of all the celebs I have me and spoke, chat with this Young Actress is comparatively short, now, if it is sweet or not, read out by your own, to know; About 7th Sense I suppose it is not necessary for me to talk anything about the film, the audience response at the theaters itself tells you how successful the movie is. I am proud to be a part of such a prestigious project. The entire credit goes to Hero of the film, Suriya and most imaginative and creative Director Murugadoss who can make a film with never before thought story, and has guts to entertain, convince the audience with his film. ‘7th Sense’ is such a film that has got so many variations in it, it entertains you at the same time makes you think and over all, it is the ‘Diwali’ feast for the audience. About her role in the film I play a young scientist in this flick. Now, if I say scientist, this definitely does not mean that I have played some offbeat role that has only to do with the performance. You can find me entertaining the audience with the chemistry I and Suriya share, in the songs and in the overall film. ‘7th Sense’ being my debut film in Tamil, and this flick being declared a block buster success in all the languages released, I am overwhelmed and hope my career takes positive turns like it has been all these years. Moreover, the film makers of ‘7th Sense’ are planning to release the flick in Hollywood too, I am excited and waiting for this. Working with Suriya He is such a Proper Actor, with no ego of being 10 years old in this industry and being one of the most wanted heroes of entire South film industry today. he is only concerned about the film he is doing, aspires the entire sequence or shot to be perfect and takes care of other artists performance along with his, in order to the sequence to come out as the best. He is a very down to earth person; extremely good at heart and the same shows off ones you start working with him. Instead, he used to at times tease me saying that he is afraid of acting with me when it comes to romantic sequences, as I am a daughter of senior most Actor Kamal Hassan. I am happy to work with a co – star like Suriya. Favorite song This is the magic of Harris Jayraj music. Every track in the album composed by him would be the best and it is very difficult for you to pick any one and say, ‘Yes, this is the best’. He has given an extra ordinary music to ‘7th Sense’. And right now I am humming ‘Yelelemma’. As I being a play back singer too I have sung some tunes for this film as well. And then I went ahead and asked fast five questions to Shruthi for which she answered; Favorite Color : Black Favorite Car : Anything that takes me from point A to B After 5 years, singing or Acting : Entertaining, that is the single focus Without what you can’t leave home : My intelligence (laughs) Favorite Outfit : Anything I am comfortable and makes me project what I am With this Andhrawishesh team took a leave from Shruhti Hassan, as the actress was in a bit of a hurry… and we can back, uploaded our chat with Shruthi to you…

Rohit talks about ‘Solo’ October 25, 2011 11:33
When ‘Baanam’ strike, everyone came out with the comment about the film, stating it to be a critically acclaimed film. This is a compliment to the film, in today’s Telugu Cinema, where almost many stereo type films are coming up. Particularly, the Hero and his Voice, his guts of experimenting with the role right in the first film, all were the points of appreciation. After taking a break and hearing to n number of scripts, Rohit has agreed to strike again, with another ‘Solid Love Story’, ‘Solo’. The audio of the film was launched recently and the film is set for a release soon. Andhrawishesh team met the Hero and the Director of this flick. While Director Bujji chose to stay calm and only watch the Hero, Rohit talks to Andhrawishesh about ‘Solo’, ‘Baanam’ and ‘Films’; From ‘Baanam’ to ‘Solo’ Life has been a roller coaster ride. The story and screenplay along with the role all these factors put together made me accept the Movie ‘Baanam’, that is though my debut Movie, has given me much recognition that I needed and the movie even though was not a commercial success, managed to earn average returns and critical acclaim. Soon after the film, many offers of similar serious kind of roles came up to me. I always craved for showcasing a variety in my films and roles and never wanted to repetitive or similar roles. So, I have waited all this time for an attractive Script. Then, director Bujji of ‘Yuvatha’ fame came up with the script of ‘solo’ to me that attracted me to the core and as soon as I heard the narration, I have decided to take up the role. That’s the story behind ‘Solo’ and my journey from ‘Baanam’ to ‘Solo’. More about ‘Solo’ This is for sure a complete entertainer and love being the centric of the film. It is a story of a Guy and how he would be able to win his love. Though the line seems to be similar, the screenplay makes you very interested to watch the film. We have worked very hard for the film. Though it has been close to a year, the project has actually started; the shooting of the film was completed within 45 days. The tag of the film is ‘A Solid Love Story’. And yes, this is a Solid story of a Guy who is in love. NishaAgarrwal is playing the lead opposite me in the film and Prakash Raj being another Pillar for this flick. He has been so supportive and the story and screenplay of Bujji, made him accept the role in this flick. People in ‘Baanam’ have seen me as a matured hero, but with ‘Solo’ everyone would get to see the actor in me and I am happy to disclose the same. About Manisharma’s tunes He is for sure ‘Melody Bramha’. He has given me some very catchy tunes in my debut film ‘Baanam’ as well, one of them being ‘Naalo Ne Lena’. Till date, audience would remember the song. Even in ‘Solo’, Mani Sharma has given me some good music. Out of the entire Album, atleast 2 to 3 songs are my favorite. The audio of the film has been released recently, and I wish all you music lovers out there would listen and enjoy the music of ‘Solo’ as we are planning to release the Movie soon. About the director Bujji and I would no more shares a Director – Hero relationship, but we are more of friends today. It could be because I and he sharing the same thought process, our way of understanding Cinema being the same, and the amount of passion inculcated in us towards film making, all these things put together has made us close to each other. Today, I can definitely say, even in near future I would love to do a film again in the directorial of Bujji. He is a very talented director and very lively person to work with. Dream role? Getting into films itself was my dream, so there are no dream roles in particular to me. I need to do as many films as I can, showcasing variation in each role and sustain in the industry for more long years. Yes, I do have a dream of starting up my own production house, but I am still working on it. About heroine of the film I remember the time when I and Bujji were searching for a heroine to our film. we have seen many heroines, and in the due course, we saw ‘YemaindiEeVeela’ coming on T.V. both I and Bujji were convinced with the factor that, though the heroine of the film, NishaAgarrwal is a new comer, she was capable of handling her role of the ‘solo’ heroine in the film. Then we decided to cast her in our film too. Initially, many opposed to this thought, but we had a belief in her and after the film’s release you would know how important her role is in the film. Nisha has carried her role with lots of grace and she has a long way to go. Telugu Cinema Today Lot many changes, some for better and some not, much more matured technicians coming in this industry, the variety of scripts and work we are getting to do and Telugu Cinema’s scope today has been widened. On contrary, piracy, all the issues that are creating hurdle in the shooting and releases of the films that is in turn affecting the market of Telugu Cinema are creating many obstacles. I would say development and problems are going hand – in – hand, when it comes to Telugu Cinema. Why films? Like any other teenager, even I aspired to become a Engineer and pursued my Engineering. It was my father who always felt that I could be a better Actor and encouraged me to make my career in films. Initially, I was not very keen for this thought. But, later on even I started feeling positive and wanted to explore in this career. With the same thought, after my Engineering, I pursued a film making course in America, to understand Cinema and this is how I am here today. What audience can expect from ‘Solo’ A proper entertainment. Because even before accepting the script I here the narration of any story as an audience and put a question ‘why should I watch this film?’ the answer itself makes me to decide it If I should do the role or not. And from ‘Solo’ one can expect a ‘paisa vasool’ for the amount invested in the ticket. With his way of roles and films, Andhrawishesh hopes Nara Rohit would bag a success with ‘Solo’ – A Solid Love Story!
