Story
born in Central Park, NY
Paruchuri Gopala Krishna said that Allari Ravi Babu
prepared this story in Central Park of New York city
last year. Soggadu is a heart touching love story.
This film is different from the two films done by
Ravi Babu earlier and yet it is different from regular
commercial films we get these days. Kalpana Rai -
who is an outdated comedy actress - did a very good
comedy role in this film and this film would serve
as comeback vehicle to Kalpana Rai. Paruchuri brothers
opined that this film would become huge success because
of the way Ravi Babu handled it. Rama Naidu produced
a film titled Soggadu with Sobhan Babu which went
on to become a big hit. It is nice to another Soggadu
coming from the same banner.
My
favorite character in this film - Tarun
Hero Tarun said that the Rishi character in Nuvve
Nuvve is his favorite character so far. And after
Soggadu, the character he played in this film has
become his favorite character. This film has got realistic
taking by director Ravi Babu. He is hoping for another
success after Nuvvuleka Nenulenu from Suresh Productions
banner. His character in this film has mass touch
and entertaining style of a small town boy.
Different
film - Ravi Babu
Director Ravi Babu said that the main strengths of
this film are the backdrops of locations chosen. This
film is executed in unique way with good visuals.
The songs are canned with stunning visuals and themes.
Tarun is playing the role of a boy with good heart.
Shooting of this film was started on 25th July 2005
and it took an unusual time of 105 working days to
shoot the film. When asked about the coffee color
tint in the backdrop of posters, trailers and stills,
Ravi Babu explained that coffee tint and regular tint
was used to differentiate story taking in two places
simultaneously. This film is releasing on 25th of
March.
Happy
to work with Suresh Banner - Bhaskarabhatla
Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar who penned lyrics for all
songs in this film expressed his immense joy in working
for such a prestigious banner like Suresh Productions.
He said that there is good understanding between him
and music director Chakri which makes sure that lyric
written for the songs would have sync with the sound
and music. This is his 30th film in combination of
Chakri. He opined that 'madhumasam' is his favorite
song in this film. He felt that Ravi Babu is a perfectionist
who makes no room for errors.
Will
be a big hit like old Soggadu - D Rama Naidu
Presenter Dr. D Rama Naidu said that he made the old
classic Soggadu with Sobhan Babu long back and he
opined that new Soggadu would become big hit like
old Soggadu. He opined that Telugu Film Industry is
going through lean patch with not more than 8% of
success rate per annum. He urged the actors and technicians
to cut down their remuneration to make sure that films
are made in realistic budget. He asked producers to
start the film with complete script so that wastage
would be minimized. He opined that making 1000 feet
worth of film would cost around 30 lakhs. The more
wastage in film means more working days and high budget.
He advised producers to treat filmmaking as business
and follow the economics accordingly. He also mentioned
that Soggadu is 35th film by Suresh Productions in
the combination of Paruchuri brothers.
