Published on Feb 8, 2024 8:00 pm IST

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s most awaited stylish mass action entertainer ‘Eagle,’ under the direction of Karthik Gattamneni, is due for release tomorrow. The film is produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under Tollywood’s leading production company, People Media Factory, while Vivek Kuchibhotla is the co-producer. Kavya Thapar and Anupama Parameswaran are the heroines. Meanwhile, director Karthik Ghattamaneni shared a few interesting aspects of ‘Eagle’ in the media interaction.

 

You look so young and cool, but everything in Eagle promotional content looks like destruction. How is the movie going to be?

Eagle is a larger-than-life entertainer. The Eagle’s destruction is for society. That is kept in suspense for now. The protagonist is a cotton farmer, but the problem he deals with is international. It is also relevant to us. Eagle is an attempt to bring films like Rambo and Terminator to the Telugu audience.

 

How did you feel when Ravi Teja said, ‘I had done a role that I liked’ at the pre-release event?

Ravi Teja Garu is a brilliant actor. But for commercial reasons, he has to do comedy, action, dance, and many other things. In Eagle, he looks like a character, and the audience will be able to feel that difference. Being intense and cool is a different quality in him.

 

You haven’t given any hints about the story and concept in the trailer. Have you tried any special screenplay?

The secondary cast is very important to this story. We have explored the protagonist’s story through those characters. We tried styles like Virumandi, Vikram, and Rashomon. You won’t have that excitement if we reveal the concept in advance. If you watch the trailer after watching the movie, you will understand that the concept is clearly revealed in the trailer itself.

 

Why is this movie titled Eagle?

An eagle can see a rabbit below, even if it is four kilometers high. In this, the hero has that eye power. Also, the code name of this character in the movie is Eagle. We wanted to have the same title in Hindi as well. There is a movie with the same name in Bollywood. So, we are releasing it in Hindi with the character name of the protagonist ‘Sahdev Varma.’

 

What is Navdeep’s role? Also, tell us about the characters of Anupama and Kavya.

Navdeep’s role is very crucial. He will be seen in a role that complements the hero’s ideas, and Navdeep will surprise everyone with his performance. Anupama will drive the story forward. Kavya’s character is very vital to the story, and I can’t reveal it now.
