A duet Srihari and Sanghavi was filmed in Chennai recently
for Priyanka Cinema's "Parasuram," directed by A.
Mohan Gandhi. Presented by C. Kalyan, the movie is nearing
completion.
Says
the director, "The pen is mightier than the sword. But
our hero, an investigative journalist, realizes at one stage
that the gun can do what the sword cannot. Srihari works as
a reporter in a newspaper called 'Terror'. He brings to light
the anti-societal and anti State elements through his writings.
In the process, he is made to lose everything in life by the
villain (Sarath Saxena). During this trauma, he comes to the
conclusion that if he has to destroy the evil forces, he should
take on them in the language they understand better, the language
of the gun.
"In
short, it is the courageous tale of a journalist who vows
to cleanse the system of its maladies, controlled by a vested
interest."
"Sanghavi
is cast as a police officer. She too faces hurdles at every
stage while carrying out her duties. She falls in love with
the hero. Besides duets, there is an interesting duel between
the two, while he holds her service revolver and she, his
weapon, the pen. There is no reversal of roles but the arguments
provide food for thought. M. S. Narayana plays the role of
a post master and the heroine's father with Raja Ravindra
in a key role".
"The
action sequences are on par with Hollywood standards. Besides
action there are emotional chords too that touch the heart".
Srihari,
with the success of 'Bhadrachalam,' is back to the genre where
he is most at home - action films. "Yes, after the film's
success, I am concentrating on action flicks again. There
are several such scenes in this movie too, brilliantly built
up by Vijay. Mohan Gandhi had a particular style of filmmaking
and has given fresh treatment to this subject. Even the songs
have come up well".
Besides
a song on the lead pair, a fight sequence was also filmed
at the Chennai port recently. "We have filmed the song
choreographed by Tara at Race Course, MGM, Kovalam beach.
Two songs are yet to be filmed, which we are planning to shoot
abroad," says Kalyan.
Nutan
Prasad, Giribabu, Jayaprakash Reddy, G.V. Lakshmayya Chowdhary
and Pavani are also in the cast.
