Young hero Bellamkonda Ganesh’s second film Nenu Student Sir! is all set for a grand release this Friday. Directed by Rakhi Uppalati and produced by Naandhi Satish Varma of SV2 Entertainment, the makers claim that it is a unique action thriller. Avantika Dassani plays the female lead, while Mahati Swara Sagar is the music composer. Ahead of the release, we had a brief interaction with Bellamkonda Ganesh, and here is the transcript.
Which elements of the film’s story impressed you?
The story is penned by Krishna Chaitanya, while Rakesh Garu directed the film. I got connected to emotions and the character arc in the story. In Swathi Muthyam, I played a full-length innocent role, but my character in Nenu Student Sir! will have different shades. I play a character who leads a happy life but gets into a few issues, and in the end, he will go against all the odds.
Whose choice was it to choose Rakesh as the director?
Rakesh Garu has been traveling with my brother for the past two years. Also, he has done a web movie under the production of Teja Garu. We found that very interesting and believed he would be the right person to direct our film.
Satish Varma Garu attained a hit with Naandhi. How do you feel about your film coming from a successful production house?
Distributors and Exhibitors will have enormous confidence when a film comes from a successful production house. Satish Varma Garu worked passionately for our movie. He is the first person to arrive on sets in the morning and the last person to leave. He arranged all the needed resources, and Nenu Student Sir! will have stunning production values.
Though your first film got a good talk, it didn’t perform well in theaters. What are your expectations for Nenu Student Sir?
As Swathimuthyam clashed with Chiranjeevi Garu and Nagarjuna Garu films, a few said it was a bad idea to release the movie during that time. However, our producers thought it would perform well as it is the only family movie released for Dusshera 2022. It should have performed well, but it got solid reception on OTT. I feel I succeeded as an actor with Swathimuthyam. I am highly confident about the success of Nenu Student Sir! Also, the release date is good, and we expect the audience will encourage our movie.
Could you tell us about your future projects?
My next film will be a crime comedy. It will be entirely different from my first two movies, Swathimuthyam and Nenu Student Sir!
