MAD is an upcoming film that will be out this 6th August. On this occasion, we caught up with the film’s director Laxman Meneni for a brief interview. Here is the transcript.

 

Tell us about your background?

I am an engineering graduate with an IT background. In life, I only had two goals of either playing cricket or making films. I tried hard to be a cricketer but that did not happen. Now that the time is right, I have come up with my first film MAD.

 

Tell us about the film MAD?

The film is about marriages in today’s life. I have seen so many marriages are breaking one after the other in no time. Also, live-in relationships have become more these days and they are also breaking apart. Everything is a formality these days and my film is about such a subject.

 

Tell us the basic characters of the film?

The film is about two close friends who are not serious in life. What happens when they meet two girls who are quite serious in their lives and career. What happens when such crazy characters meet is the basic crux of the film.

 

Tell us about the making of the film?

I have absolutely no experience in making films and have worked hard on the script and other aspects of the film. After seeing the rushes, our editor, Marthand K Venkatesh praised us. With his encouragement, the film has gone to another level.

 

Finally, why should we watch the film. Sum it up for us?

We have done a lot of hard work on this film which will release on the 6th of August. The film has good music and is composed by the assistant of A R Rahman. It has a contemporary topic and I hope everyone will like it.
