Venkatesh’s “Tulasi” is releasing worldwide on October 12, 2007. On this ocassion, Venkatesh met the media today at his office at Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad. He speaks at length about the movie and much more in this interview.
Q: Can we begin with the film?
A: Yeah, “Tulasi” is another high voltage drama but neatly packaged with all the ingredients. In one word, it is family entertaining emotional drama. Basic storyline is simple. You can find good dosage of everything. It begins with romance and then moves to sentiment and then you see high voltage action and ends pleasantly.
Q: What is your character does in the film?
A: I am playing an architect. My name is Tulasi Ram in the movie. Title is chosen because of the character’s name.
Q: How different it is from other films?
A: I can’t talk about other films in general but from my past films, it is different in the sense it has more commercial values. Music is pleasant, Editing is neat and clear. There is big action sequences. It is a minimum guarantee movie.
Q: Is it faction film?
A: No, the factionism is just one aspect but we didn’t touch it much. My character is silent but violent. He has reason for that. It is more of a romantic drama and sentiment film.
Q: How is the response for the music?
A: Music has already been a big hit. I am happy. Devisri Prasad is young and energetic guy and he has given peppy numbers. Actually I knew him from the days of Satruvu. He used to came with his father Satyamoorthy and knew his talents.
Q: Nayantara and you are working together again after Lakshmi!
A: It is good to be paired with her. She is hardworking and glamorous girl. Glamour is required for her role and she does good job.
Q: Heard that child sentiment is crucial to the film?
A: Yes, it is the first time that I am doing. The chemistry between the kid and me was fantastic. It would be major highlight. A charming and cut kid named Atulith played that role.
Q: How do you rate Boyapati as director?
A: He is good director. I knew him since he worked for my films like Pavithra Bandham. We didn’t have any communication gap. He shoots commercial angles well.
Q: Another hero (Rana) is coming from your family. How do you feel?
A: It is too early to talk about. Let him come. He just informed recently and it was all of a sudden. But I am happy that Rana is trying to continue our legacy.
Q: Will you be doing multi-starrer movies?
A: If a technician has guts and daring attitude to make a film with superb characters, I would die for working with in multi-starrer movies. I have already declared my willingness but no one is coming forward. I would like to do more variety too.
Q: Forthcoming movies?
A: I haven’t yet decided. Discussions are going on.
Holidays with family. Nothing about my next film has been finalized yet.
