How is the response to “Buddy” in theatres?
“Buddy” movie is getting positive response from all over. I am happy that children and adults are saying that the movie is good and they liked it. Word of mouth that the movie was a hit started from the morning shows. Our entire team is happy to have “Buddy” entertain you. Along with the comedy, emotion and action in “Buddy”, the teddy bear character is entertaining the audience.
How did this ‘Buddy’ actually start? Did you remake the Tamil movie?
We had a discussion about “Buddy” with our producer Gnanavel two years ago. There was talk of remaking the Tamil movie Teddy. But we wanted to take only one line from Teddy and create “Buddy” with a completely new story. That’s how this movie started. We approached Allu Shirish that it would be good to have a young hero for this movie. He has known me for a long time. They watch my movies and talk on the phone. We wanted to make a film in the past. As soon as we told the story of “Buddy”, Sirish liked it and we started the project.
What kind of preparations were made for Teddy in the film?
Today the audience is going to theaters only for movies that give a theatrical experience. “Buddy” is a movie made for theatre. In this, we considered bringing expressions to Teddy as the main task. We have done good CG work and brought that feel. Whether it is an action or adventure story, it is mainly a love story. A love story between a girl who works in ATC and a pilot.
Did you take any other movie references for Buddy?
Rajamouli took the Eega reference for “Buddy”. Let me tell you that the emotion that was worked out in that movie will also be worked out for us. Whether it was a villain character, love or a teddy bear character, there was a belief that emotion would be worked out. We went on making the movie “Buddy” like Khaidi, Vikram and Kalkila episodes. The action sequence in the flight in the climax is the highlight of the movie. Hip hop Tamil music is getting good response.
Do you watch Telugu movies? What genre of movies do you like?
I like Telugu movies. I watch Telugu movies regularly. There are plans to make a straight Telugu film. As a director, I cannot restrict myself to one genre. Ready to do any genre like comedy, action, love story.
What are future projects?
I am going to do the next movie with Hip Hop Adi, the music director of the movie Ma Buddy.
