ISM is a very special film for me as I have written it from a true and powerful journalist point of view. Some topics of the present day have been added into this story. It’s not story in which hero preaches about being good and doing good for the society , he just fights on behalf of them. It’s a commercial entertainer
Anoop made me sing!
Anoop Rubens’ music has been very impressive. We have been working together for many films. He made me write a song and also forced me to sing. Apart from this, there are 2 melodious songs which got good response.
He did not accept
I always wanted to do a film with Abhishek Bachchan. He saw Temper and I tried to convince him to do the Hindi version of it. Abhishek felt that he could not match the performance of NTR and hence he did not want to do this remake. I will definitely do a Hindi film but it might take some time.
One week!
Details about my next film will be revealed next week. Hero of the film will also be disclosed then (laughs)
Rogue
I have also directed the movie Rogue. The film is ready and will hit the screens in December.
Waiting for Mahesh’s approval
Jana Gana Mana script impressed Mahesh and he was ready to do the film. But will have to wait for him to respond on the shooting
3more years
My son Akash is currently studying. It will take 3 more years for him to become a hero.
No mood to shoot..
It has been a long time without making a film with Ravi Teja. Both of us wanted to do a movie together but he is not in cinema mood. He wants to roam around the world. Since 15 years we have been continuously shooting without any gap. He wants to enjoy and also wants me to accompany him.
Waiting for a chance
Megastar Chiranjeevi asked me to change the second half of the story I narrated to him. Before I made changes, he has started the movie. Given a chance, I will definitely do a film with Megastar.
