On this occasion, we caught up with Naga Vamsi, and here’s the transcript of our conversation.

Lucky Baskhar has high expectations even before its release. How does that feel?

It’s truly gratifying. Some films bring a deep sense of satisfaction just in making them, and Lucky Baskhar has done that. We are very confident, which is why we decided to hold premiere shows.

Why did you choose to have premieres for this film?

We believe the film will generate strong, positive word of mouth. The response has been so good that we even increased the number of shows. Positive feedback could lead to a strong opening day.

What makes your collaboration with Venky Atluri special?

Some relationships go beyond success or failure and are built on trust. Venky is one such director, and that’s why we’re working on multiple projects together.

Can you share a bit about the film’s story?

The story explores how far someone can go in the pursuit of money. Set against a banking backdrop, it blends family drama with thriller elements. Within the first ten to fifteen minutes, viewers are fully immersed in Baskhar’s world.

What makes Baskhar’s character relatable?

Baskhar is a character every viewer will root for. He progresses in life through his wit and intelligence, without deceiving anyone, making him both relatable and endearing.

Does Lucky Baskhar have a message?

It’s not a message-driven film. Lucky Baskhar is unique in Telugu cinema with strong commercial elements. It keeps viewers captivated without relying on action sequences, making it an entertaining experience. Editor Naveen Nooli, who’s rarely easily satisfied, praised the film. Both I and Trivikram, along with the entire team, are very confident in its success.

I wish everyone a happy Diwali! Celebrate the festival with your family by watching Lucky Baskhar, and I also wish success to all the films releasing this Diwali.
