Ater watching ‘Simha’ everyone will feel proud of Balayya
Two box-office hits like ‘Bhadra’ and ‘Tulasi’ have made Boyapati Sreenu so confident that he is going to be a sure shot winner with his latest release ‘Simha’. This is of course a challenge to Balakrishna as well since it is an important film for him too. Remember Balakrishna’s powerful roles in ‘Samarasimha Reddy’, ‘Narasimha Naidu’ and ‘Lakshmi Narasimha’. Now, he is going to appear as ‘Simha’, but the director claims that he is showing him quite differently from the roles he played in the above mentioned films. On the eve of release of ‘Simha’ on Friday, the 30th April, 2010, Boyapati Sreenu spoke about his film. A few excerpts:
How do you feel directing Balakrishna?
I’ve seen Balayya’s working style since the making of ‘Krishna Babu’ and ‘Pavitra Prema’ as I worked as an assistant director for both films. He believes in director and never involves himself into anything once he okays the film.
Your earlier films ‘Bhadra’ and ‘Tulasi’, boasts some strong action elements. How about ‘Simha’?
‘Bhadra’ is a romantic film blend with action elements. I adopted a mixed style in ‘Tulasi’ also, i.e., family drama and action scenes. But ‘Simha’ is a story of a courageous man. One can find the film as powerful as the title signifies. The film is blend with all kinds of emotions.
What’s new in this? We have already seen Balakrishna in such films before?
Yes! It’s true. That is the reason why I chose to show him in a new dimension. I designed his characterization in two shades that leads many to believe that they are seeing a new personality. His performance is ultimate in the film.
So you mean to say that we can altogether expect a new Balakrishna in ‘Simha’.
Mind you I am not saying that I did lot of experiments and show the public as something unique. As the film is releasing tomorrow, I needn’t have to discuss much about that now. Audience’s opinions will enable you to understand what I mean to say.
You said that you directed ‘Simha’ from the audience point of view. What was your feeling as a viewer after watching the film?
Great! It’s not just me, after watching ‘Simha’ everyone will feel proud of Balayya. The audience will get complete satisfaction and come out of theaters happily. I’m sure that Balayya’s character would jazz up the fans in theaters.
You seem to have carried the extra burden of writing dialogues too.
How can dialogue writing be a burden for a director like me who wrote the script with utmost interest? Dialogue is an essential part of developing my characters. When I think of a scene, dialogues just flow naturally. With careful planning and better time management we can carve out a little more time for writing even if we have a packed schedule.
Was it based on commercial aspects that you choose the heroines?
Do you mean to say that commercial elements alone make the film a successful one? If that is so, then all films featuring three to four heroines should become super hits, isn’t it! Frankly speaking, you would occasionally find that extraordinary film that blends with best commercial elements becomes a hit.As far as ‘Simha’ is concerned, every character is a prominent one. I had no idea of including any character just for the sake of having one in the film.
You chose Nayantara to cast in a traditional manner. How did you come up with it? Are you also trying to show her differently from stereotypical manner?
No, nothing like that! I am showing her as per the look of the character in the film. Nayantara has a very important and true story to tell. So she has to appear in traditional attire to give life to the character. But one need not feel disappointed about the glamour part as Namitha and Sneha Ullal are going to quench the thirst.
A director like you who has many ideas is taking long breaks. Any reasons?
My aim is not to direct as many films as I can, but to direct quality films. That is the reason why I take such long breaks.
