Young hero Sumanth Prabhas is gearing up to entertain audiences with the romantic drama Godari Gattupaina set against the rural backdrop. Directed by newcomer Subash Chandra and produced by Red Puppet Productions, the film stars Nidhi Pradeep as the female lead. Jagapathi Babu plays a crucial role that adds weight to the narrative. Ahead of the release this Friday, producer Abhinav interacted the media, and here’s the transcript.
Tell us about your background.
I did different businesses in the last 10 years. Cinema is my passion. When I was looking for good scripts, I love the story narrated by Subash Garu. I wanted to do a film that will be universally accepted. Godari Gattupaina is one such story.
How was your experience working on your first film?
It is both exciting and tough. Irrespective of any industry there will be challenges, and that is also the most interesting part. I take up something only when it is of high quality.
Who decided the title?
We considered two to three titles, but we felt Godari Gattupaina suits our story perfectly. I suggested it. Even director liked it, and the title can easily connect with the audience too.
Why did you cast Sumanth Prabhas who is from Telangana?
Any actor likes to take up challenges. For him speaking Telangana dialect is easy. For Godari Gattupaina, he learned Godari dialect and aced it to perfection. He performed brilliantly in the film.
What genre is your favourite?
I like all genres. I love to produce films that will engage audiences. I am planning to make my second film too with Subash Garu.
