Pressure on Young Actors in Cinema

There is a feeling that all young actors are under this pressure

as well.

What do you want to say about that?

Right now, we have released this only in Telugu.

Right now, there's a lot of pressure on me to bring it to

Hindi. So we haven't done any censoring yet.

So people are asking me incessantly now,

so we're trying to figure

out how to take it into those areas.

But this is primarily in Telugu, essentially,

we made it in Telugu. Rahul definitely wanted Tamil because

of the Madras Famine, an inspiration called Ranabali.

But these numbers...

Uh...

Now—my only wish is that...

our producer gets back the budget we put in.

That's my number one wish. If that's fulfilled, I'm satisfied.

Beyond that, I think it's a

fan and media play. And

We have, in a way, made cinema a competition over time, which is a—

I feel is harmful for the art of— cinema is not

a running race, right?

And cinema can never be a competition because

for there to be a race, we all have to run on the same track.

That is, if we all make the same script with the same director and the same budget,

then it can be a race. I mean, in any race,

everyone is on the same track.

Equal criteria.

An eq— an equality. Cinema is not like that, right?

We cannot make it a race. I am telling the story I want to tell.

Another actor is telling a story he likes and wants to tell,

a story he connects with in a different way.

So, by making this a race, we are creating this one

it is a

pointless space. I think it's the— if it builds to a level,

actors will also start having... now everyone feels, “Our audience...”

They feel that we have to deliver so much and make such a big film, they feel

like

now I have to do this, even though their heart might be in multiple things.
