Film Award Function Speech Highlights

Good evening, good evening, everybody.

Sorry, I came late. They didn't even give me time to sit down.

They put the mic in my hand, like Ravi sir sent in a batsman

who should open in the last ten overs.

Well,

We're holding an event for Telangana Bathukamma and Dasara, an award

function. I got caught up in that meeting and didn't check my phone.

When Ravi sir called and asked, "Where are you, sir?" that's when I checked the time.

I came running. From this, you can understand my relationship with

Maitri. They are not just my producers, they

are more than my

family.

Well,

This film...

Ever since shooting for this film began, Chandu sir, who handles our Ustaad

production,

Chandu sir from Ustaad Productions, was handling this film's production.

He used to speak very highly of this film.

The research Rahul does, the passion with which Rahul makes films,

too,

How hard Vijay works, how he learns horse riding,

all of this,

Chandu garu used to give us live updates.

For me,

Rashmika ma'am, I saw you on the Pushpa

set, and now I'm seeing you again.

So, I sincerely hope the same luck we've had will continue.

I sincerely hope so.

Vijay, the other day at the song trailer launch, I think it was the trailer launch,

we spoke a little about the negativity online, about the trolls.

We spoke a little.

Vijay,

They may troll our language, they may troll our body language, but

no one can troll the hardships you endure, your dedication and your hard work.

No one has been born, and none will be. Remember that.

It's a fact. If we were afraid of trolls like that, if we were afraid of such negativity, it'd be a shock.

Then I have to leave straight from there. BHEL is right here.

I wouldn't have come this far.

I know the struggles Vijay went through. Since Vijay's marriage proposal meetings, I've known Vijay.

I greet him at many parties and places.

Whenever he greets me, he says, "Harish anna," and grips my hand tightly.

You feel an energy, a vibration right there. He's such a positive person.

And

Has anyone trolled me lately the way I've been trolled?

You saw me standing up front, right? You saw me. You have to be brave, right?

That's why Puri Jagannadh sir wrote a dialogue in one of his films.

It's our Ravi Teja anna's dialogue. A film became a blockbuster.

Would we stop without making the next film?

If a film doesn't do well, would we stop trying to make the next one?

All we know is film, film, film.

Cinema will always do justice to those who believe in it.

“Let’s believe in cinema.” I wrote a dialogue in Gaddalakonda Ganesh

too.

Cinema will endure, cinema will sustain us.

This is a dialogue from Gaddalakonda Ganesh.

Rahul

In the early stage of your career, I don’t know whether it was your third film

or fourth film,

I’m not sure. At such an early stage in your career, taking up such a big

scale subject

and visualizing such a characterization,

then putting in so much hard work,

it’s no small thing. With the success you got, immediately,

uh…

if you wanted to move on to another project, you definitely could have done two projects

in this time. But taking up this subject, imagining Vijay in this

character, and

spending so much time on it, I’ve been watching your interviews lately.

Every frame, exactly as you envisioned,

every shot, exactly as you envisioned,

Until you feel satisfied, patiently, with faith in what you believe in

bringing this this far with your conviction— hats off, brother.

I’m wishing you a huge blockbuster.

And producers,

I’ve seen it many times.

There are producers who pamper heroes.

But

the one and only banner that pampers directors is Mythri Movie Makers.

Whether it’s Ravi garu or Naveen garu, they pamper directors.

The way they pamper them is, a KGF director like Prashanth Neel,

the way they treat him,

they treat that young director who made Little Hearts the same way.

This has nothing to do with hits or flops.

We know our brother Shiva well, because he makes love stories.

Just as the chemistry between the hero and heroine is so good in your films, at Mythri,

the chemistry between producers and directors is just as good. I’m an example of that.

Though we made only one film, ours was a five-year journey.

Buchchi.

Both of us are seniors in this banner compared to Shiva Nirvana.

But we both made only one film, Shiva.

Nirvana is already in this banner.

He made two films. So remember this one thing.

We need to break Shiva's record, actually.

Rahul,

I would like to tell you once again that Ajay Athul are the

music directors of this film. They composed the music for my first film, Shock.

They made a film.

And good to see it’s over, it’s over it’s over once again.

So good to see them getting back here.

Guys, Ranabali in theatres October 16.

All the best.

Thank you, thank you, Mr. Harish Shankar.

We, too, used to go down once in a while.

Because many people here want to speak with Jayamma Ranabali.
