Gaali Sampath is ready for a release tomorrow and on this occasion, we caught up with hero Sree Vishnu for a detailed interview. Here is the transcript.

What made you say yes to Anil Ravipudi?

Anil Ravipudi has been quite supportive of my work for a long time. One fine day, he called me and narrated this line. After a while, his team came up with the full story. The moment I heard Rajendra prasad garu is playing my dad, there was no looking back.

Whose story is Gaali Sampath? Is it yours or Rajendra Prasad’s?

The story has me and Rajendra Prasad doing key roles. The story depends on both of us and the script is incomplete without each of us. The main conflict point between the father and son is simply superb.

What is your character in the film?

I play an easy-go-lucky youth who is quite responsible in life. So, what happens when a person like me tries to change his father who goes off track. The main emotion between me and my dad in the film is an ego clash.

Working with an actor like Rajendra Prasad?

My acting has surely improved after working with him. Post the shoot, I bonded with him quite well and we discussed the characters a lot. I asked him so many questions about life and career and how he did so many films. Our chemistry is the biggest highlight of the film.

Your acting style is different. How do you prepare for your roles?

The moment I land on the sets, I forget who the actor is and treat them as characters. This was observed by Prasad garu who also asked me why I was not discussing anything with him. But that is how I work. I go with a blank and open mind and do my roles.

Will you ever do a commercial film?

I feel that any film that brings money is commercial for me. I am always trying to do films that are natural and if you observe, most of the films that I do have strong family emotions. If the story has strong emotions, I will surely do.

Future Projects

We have done shooting of Raja Raja Chora. Arjuna Falguna is 60% complete and I am doing a cop-based drama and two other films. People are loving my work and are accepting my films. This is so welcoming and gives me a lot of encouragement.

Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya fame Naveen Polishetty is coming up with a fun entertainer titled, Jathi Ratnalu that is all set for a grand release on March 11, 2021. On this occasion, we had an interview with Naveen. Here is the transcript.

Q) How did you bag this project?

During ASSA shoot, Nag Ashwin met me with director Anudeep. Once I heard the script, I felt it so refreshing and accepted the film right away

Q) How will you justify the title Jathi Rathnalu?

Jathi Ratnalu was kept on a satirical note. Once you watch the film, you will come to know what I’m talking about. The film is based on three silly guys and the things they do make everyone call them Jathi Rathnalu.

Q) About the producers?

As I said, Nag Ashwin met me even before the release of Agent and Chhichhore with the script. Ashwin, Swapna and Priyanka completely believed in me and offered me this film. As per my perception, they are true Jathi Ratnalu.

Q) A few words about the director Anudeep?

Anudeep is very friendly and co-operative on the sets. Moreover, he is very open to creative inputs from the actors. He has a fun side to him that has been nicely brought out in the film.

Q) Working with Priyadarshi and Rahul Ramakrishna?

We thoroughly enjoyed working on the film. We used to discuss and did improvisations for many scenes on the sets. Our chemistry is the biggest asset of the film.

Q) What can we expect from Jathi Ratnalu?

The entire film is a hilarious entertainer. It is like a stress buster for the audience. In these tense times, you just come to the theatre and we will promise you a fun ride for sure.

Q) Any new project in Bollywood?

One project is under the discussion stage. Complete details regarding the same will be out soon.

Q) Any plans to venture into OTT?

Have been getting good offers but right now my diary is filled with two Telugu films. In the future, will definitely work on web content.
