Sundeep Kishan might be the bankable hero in the industry. Yet it wasn't so easy for him to get a producer for his action-thriller Okka Ammayi Thappa. And he had to wait for nearly 3 years for a producer to bankroll his film. As finally, the film is all set for grand release tomorrow. we got Sundeep for a chat.
It's learnt that several producers haven't dared initially to produce the film and that's what delayed the film. Ask Sundeep about it. He's candid enough to admit. "Yes. I had first heard the story during the shoot of Venkatadri Express. liked it immensely and readily agreed to do the film. But sadly many were apprehensive and backed out. Finally, after nearly 3 years, we started the film."
Sundeep hasn't charged a single penny for the movie. Any particular reason behind it? "It's a risk that I took to make this film happen and thus rope many on board. Especially I should thank my uncle who also didn't charge. I'm indebted to him. And the film is very close to my heart. I had worked hard on the film. And it's one of the toughest roles I've played on screen. I had to portray myriad emotions and I think I've done justice," shares Sundeep.
Giving a peep into the film, Sundeep says that Okka Ammayi Thappa is story of story of two strangers stuck in a traffic jam on a flyover with a time bomb ticking away. "Initially we wanted to do it on Begumpet flyover but later moved to Hitech city flyover. That was the only change we made in the story. Everything else was retained," added Sundeep.
Sundeep is all praise for his co-star Nithay Menon and director Rajasimha without whom the movie wouldn't be the same. On parting note ask him that OAT doesn't seem to be a traditional Telugu movie. Does he have any apprehensions? "No, not at all. Telugu audience always encourage good cinema. The film has good romantic track and edge of the seat thrilling elements that balance all sections of audience."
