Before that, we had four screenings, wherein a select audience would write feedback notes on pieces of paper. What was the idea behind 'Footage screening'? Has it worked? Will you repeat it in future? It was under him that I had started out my career as an assistant director. I am glad to have got to work with him as his hero. Arjun sir has said some lines that other actors will think twice before speaking. For an action film, it's important for both the hero and the villain to be in competition. He is the unseen force behind the other side of the screen. What is in store?Īrjun sir (Action King Arjun Sarja) plays an unconventional antagonist, a hacker. We are expecting much from Arjun's character in the movie. For a crime to come down, there has to be severe punishment. When I will remake 'Temper' in Tamil, it's meant to convey the message that child rapes can be curbed with the death penalty. You (journalists) use the pen to tell the truth. I had no political ambition in making 'Abhimanyudu'. We are not in safe hands.ĭid you make this film because it might help your political career? We have been forced to link the Aadhar card with bank details. His character says that he benefits by using the information we give him. That's what Arjun sir's character does in the movie. Within an hour, you will see best travel offers somewhere in some App. By doing so, we give every detail to the App owner. We hit 'Agree' and 'Allow' without even reading them. They planned the kidnap and executed it right! And the criminals had every information they needed. She had been posting everything from which flavour of ice-cream the child likes to school timings etc via Facebook posts. Guess who 'helped' the criminals with the information? It's the mother. A school-going kid was recently kidnapped somewhere in India. By doing such things, we are giving information to criminals. Who knows, it might be tapped! I don't post personal stuff on Facebook. Once director PS Mithran completed giving his narration, I was scared to touch my smartphone. The film only asks, 'Are we ready for Digital India?'Ĭould you tell us how we are vulnerable, thanks to technology? It has got a social message, but at the same time, it's not like an art film. It's a universal entertainer which is not specific to any particular state in India. Our film raises several such relevant questions. But farmers are humiliated in front of their family members when they don't repay loans. The likes of Vijay Mallya escape the country, they are given flight ticket and allowed to flee. My dad is a civil engineer in the Army, but I myself never knew that soldiers don't have certain benefits.
ABHIMANYUDU TELUGU MOVIE MOVIE
In what sense are you describing the movie as informative? I am expecting a similar response in the Telugu States for 'Abhimanyudu', which is an informative movie. It has been getting a unanimously positive report and I am glad this is happening in Summer. 'Irumbu Thirai' has turned out to be my career's biggest hit in Tamil. How has the response been to the Tamil version, which released recently? In this interview, the actor talks about the film's subject, what it tries to say, etc. Ahead of the release of 'Abhimanyudu' on June 1, Vishal has visited Hyderabad to promote the film.
