"Producer Sudhakar Cherukuri has mounted Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi on a grand scale and supported us at every step. We also shot extensively in Spain, which adds rich visual appeal to the film," say Ashika Ranganath and Dimple Hayathi, talking about their upcoming Ravi Teja-starrer. The family entertainer, directed by Kishore Tirumala, is up for a grand release on January 13.
Aashika Ranganath said:
I play a modern woman named Manasa Shetty in the film; today's young girls can totally relate to her. From the beginning, the director pictured me in that role and not in the other female lead. Compared to my character in Naa Saami Ranga, this is a very different one. In that sense, this has been a refreshing change for me. The director's support made my job less difficult. Kishore Tirumala's design is sensible. His instructions were specific, even covering the costumes department.
Ravi Teja's energy is top-notch. Since I have a language barrier, matching up to his wavelength was initially hard. He is an amazing performer. He brought out both fun and emotion beautifully. Working with him gave me a lot of happiness.
In commercial films, heroes are often portrayed as flawless. However, storytelling has evolved significantly in recent years. Today, characters are written with imperfections and vulnerabilities, and audiences are increasingly drawn to such realistic portrayals. Modern relationships come with many conflicts, and the director has captured these nuances beautifully in a way that feels deeply relatable to everyone.
(Comedian) Satya plays my personal assistant; his is a highly entertaining character that brings in a lot of humour. Ravi Teja garu, Sunil garu, Vennela Kishore, and Satya are all actors with impeccable comic timing, and matching their rhythm was quite challenging.
Chiranjeevi garu's Vishwambhara is among my upcoming movies. It was a pleasure having him on the sets of BMW on an occasion. Adi Naa Pilla Raa is another of my upcoming Telugu movies. In Tamil, I am doing Karthi's Sardar 2.
Dimple Hayathi said:
The moment I heard the story, I felt that I wanted to play the wife character, Balamani. The reason is that I had already played a modern girl’s role already in Khiladi opposite the same actor. So Balamani is a changeover for me. I am glad that the director and the producer, too, felt the same.
Balamani is a very strong and independent woman etched beautifully at the script stage itself. Although there are two female leads, the situations narrated in the story are not dated. They reflect the vulnerabilities modern-day marriages face.
The audience are going to see a new Ravi Teja. He is classy and softer while being entertaining. The nature of comedy is not loud.
There are many proven artists in the film. And each of them is well-versed in comedy. It was fun working with them!
The film has a strong surprise element that can truly be experienced only in a theater. The director (known for Nenu Sailaja) brings every scene to life while explaining it, and his dialogues are distinctive and memorable. The story connects with audiences of all kinds, and the comedy is sensible and well-timed.
The dance numbers (read Vaammo Vaayyo, Bella Bella, Andham Mundhu) are already generating a lot of buzz, and the songs are receiving an excellent response.
