Discussion on Historical Film Performance

Not just one. Uh.

Rahul, as a director, in the world of cinema…

The greatest opportunity that wife-and-husband actors have never received

has come to both of you.

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna.

Because a historical film…

With historical content, a historic…

For producing a movie, Mythri Movie Makers have always

been at the top of the list, and as a director, you…

brought such content, truly. I mean, freedom fighters' stories

have come in many languages, but the human touch that you

created in the film. Uh.

Rashmika ma'am's episode there, Vijay Deverakonda's

performance, I won't get into spoilers about it, but…

What the two of them did in it, when you are coming onto the screen on a

horse, I didn't see Vijay Deverakonda. I saw Ranabali.

Really. That is where your world-building helped.

As you said earlier, and to all of you as a media person,

I can tell you,

I want to emphatically reiterate one thing,

the words you said, “slow pace” and “slow narration,”

you should not take them that way. There is a difference between slow narration

and steady narration. When people do not know that difference, such comments arise.

Films made with steady narration have become landmarks and milestones.

And Ranabali is one such film. You have properly, with all the

dignity you possess, presented every scene in the film, and

as far as your character Ranabali is concerned,

your emotions truly, as a hero in this generation,

you have portrayed that character from, you know, 360 degrees.

There is really nothing to ask you,

only to appreciate all of you for the effort, right from the

producers and director to all the technicians and

Another wonderful point you made as a director is that...

Even as wife and husband, you never took any liberties.

You handled that character with as much dignity as it deserved.

You handled it with such dignity, preserving the film's respect.

See? That's great, and all the characters, Vijay

Deverakonda became the character in the film and evoked so much emotion.

And when your character dies in the climax, you know,

forgetting that you are our close friend, I shed tears in

the

climax.

Oh!

Exactly. That's the greatest tribute any audience can

really give to all of you. But

I have only one small, simple question.
