‘Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam’ is hitting the theatres on May 6. Produced by Bapineedu and Sudheer Edara, it is directed by Vidhya Sagar Chinta. Hero Vishwak Sen speaks about his role in the film, his upcoming movies, and more.
About The Controversy
My relatives and friends were worried after seeing the controversy on TV. It’s all unwarranted and unnecessary disturbance. It was a good lesson. The ordeal lasted for 48 hours. The audience standing with me has made me emotionally stronger. If I have to meet with Telangana Cinematography Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav garu, I will meet him.
About Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam
We watched the final output of Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam a month ago. We are fully satisfied. It’s a breezy family entertainer. This is my career-best performance. The evolution of the lead man, the insecurities of the protagonist, his thoughts about what his relatives must be thinking about his jobless status etc. make him a layered character.
About The Role
For my role in ‘Ashoka Vanamlo..’, I had to tuck in the shirt so that my tummy looks bloated. The director was not satisfied with me merely sporting a moustache. I was asked to gain 10 kilos for the role. Gaining weight was easy. But shedding the weight for my next film hasn’t been as easy task.
About Godavari Backdrop
As a child, I would visit rural areas in different parts of Andhra Pradesh. I got nostalgic while shooting for this film in the Godavari areas.
About The Homework
Right from Arjun Kumar’s walking style, everything needed me to put homework. The lines are evocative and powerful. In the trailer, the line about being unmarried at 33 is not a crime, carries so much weight.
About The Release Date
I think May 6 is the right when our film, a family entertainer, has to be released. People are going to receive salaries by then and will want to spend their monies on a good film. I am confident that this is a wonderful time. The film will find its audience.
About The Title
The title ‘Ashoka Vanamloo..’ may not be easy to understand but elders in homes will definitely convey the meaning to the young generation. The actual importance of the title will reveal itself when you watch our movie.
About Getting Married
I am pro-marriage. I have a good opinion of it and I will get married one day! I will surely get married before I turn 30.
About Dream Role
I have done 5 films so far. And each of the films I am going to do from now will be five times more effective. I am hoping that I will do movies belonging to different genres from now on. As an actor, I don’t want to stay away from any role. It’s my wishlist to play a woman. I want to play the kind of role Kamal Haasan played in ‘Brahmachari’.
About Comparing With NTR
I am glad to hear that people are comparing me with Jr NTR sir. I like him a lot. But I want to carve my own identity. I am a huge fan of Tarak sir. People are showering so much love on me across social media platforms in the wake of the controversy this week. It makes me emotional.
About Upcoming Films
‘Das Ka Dhamki’ was supposed to be directed by Narresh Kuppili. Since I had so many inputs to give, I ended up taking over the project. I am doing a film titled ‘Ori Devudo’ and another entertainer titled ‘Student Zindabad’. I want to do at least three films each year.
About Multi-starrers
If it is a multi-starrer, I want to team up with the likes of Vijay Sethupathi, Kamal Haasan and Fahadh Faasil.
