“Aadarsha Kutumbam Will Definitely Win Your Hearts… We’re Going to Hit a Six!” – Victory Venkatesh
“Aadarsha Kutumbam Is About How Far an Ordinary Man Can Go When He Decides to Fight for His Family” – Trivikram Srinivas
The grand pre-release event of the much-awaited Telugu film Aadarsha Kutumbam – House No. 47, starring Victory Venkatesh and the celebrated filmmaker and dialogue writer Trivikram Srinivas, was held at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad on Tuesday evening.
Produced by S. Radha Krishna (Chinababu) under the banner of Haarika & Hassine Creations, the film features Srinidhi Shetty as the female lead. Nara Rohith and Nivetha Pethuraj play pivotal roles, while Thaman S has composed the music.
Marking the much-anticipated reunion of Venkatesh and Trivikram after 20 years, the film has generated considerable excitement among audiences. The teaser, trailer and songs released so far have received an encouraging response. Promising to bring the festive spirit of Diwali to theatres a little early, Aadarsha Kutumbam – House No. 47 is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on October 30.
Victory Venkatesh: “Aadarsha Kutumbam Will Definitely Win Your Hearts”
Addressing the gathering, Victory Venkatesh said, “It has been 20 years since Trivikram and I came together for a film. Naturally, there is a certain amount of pressure when you decide what kind of film to make after such a long gap. After films like Nuvvu Naaku Nachav and Malliswari, choosing the right script becomes quite challenging. However, Trivikram came to me with a wonderful script that has all the right elements.
“It’s not just about comedy. The film brings together thrills, suspense and a wide range of emotions. I was delighted when I heard such a wonderful story that blends all these elements so effectively.
“Aadarsha Kutumbam is releasing on October 30, and I am confident that you will all love it. I have done several family entertainers, but this film is very special. No matter what happens, I must protect my family. I will stand by them and do everything I can to safeguard them. That is what Aadarsha Kutumbam is all about.
“The love of my fans is all I need. They have showered me with affection from the very beginning, and I am always grateful for it. Just as our Indian cricketers are hitting sixes, we are going to hit sixes right out of the stadium with this film! The film has come out exceptionally well.
“My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of this project, especially director Trivikram and producers Chinababu and Naga Vamsi for giving us such a wonderful film.”
Trivikram Srinivas: “Family Is a Deep, Everlasting Well That Quenches Our Thirst”
Speaking at the event, director Trivikram Srinivas expressed his gratitude to the cast and crew and spoke at length about the film’s emotional core and the importance of family.
“Greetings to everyone. No matter how beautiful a photograph or painting may be, it needs a wall on which to be displayed. Thaman has been that wall for this film, supporting its emotional and visual strength through his background score. We completed the background score early this morning.
“I didn’t know how to express my gratitude to him. So, while he was speaking, I went and stood behind him. I cannot communicate through music the way he does, so I tried to express myself through a simple gesture by placing my hand on his shoulder.
“My journey as a writer began with Venkatesh garu’s Pavitra Bandham. In a way, he taught me my first lessons. During Pelli Chesukundam, he encouraged me even though he barely knew who I was. When I narrated the story of Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, I still don’t know what gave him so much faith in me. As soon as I finished narrating it, he shook hands with producer Ravi Kishore garu and director K. Vijaya Bhaskar garu and told them that we were going ahead with the film, regardless of what anyone else said. That moment changed the course of my career. I will always remain grateful to him.
“That support continues even today. During the background-scoring sessions, Venkatesh garu would sit with us for four to five hours every evening, encouraging both Thaman and me. His presence gave us tremendous energy, and I felt that Thaman became even more enthusiastic because Venkatesh garu was there.
“Every person involved in this film has contributed something unique. Just as every member of a family has a room of their own, everyone who worked on this film has a special part to play. You will witness Kevin Master’s extraordinary work in the interval sequence. He hasn’t merely choreographed a fight; he has directed a scene.
“Bhanu Master is different from choreographers who come in for a few days to work on songs. He has been spending time with us right from the music-sitting sessions. Ramajogayya Sastry garu is like family to us; our association goes back to the days of Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry garu. Srinidhi Shetty agreed to the film as soon as she heard the story. Nivetha Pethuraj is also like family to us, and she agreed to be part of the film without even listening to the narration. We enjoyed Satya’s performance immensely on the sets, and I am sure audiences will enjoy it just as much in theatres.
“Family is something we are given; we do not choose it. We have no control over the parents we are born to, the town we grow up in or the home we belong to. Our relationships are given to us. Friends, however, are people we choose. Love is something we seek, pursue and fight for, sometimes even at the cost of our lives.
“This film revolves around a family that is given to us and the relationships that come with it. It tells the story of four people—Chittibabu, Swarna, Sampoorna and Sarva—and the lengths they go to protect their family. How far can an ordinary person travel when pushed to the limit? That is the central question of Aadarsha Kutumbam.
“Krishna delivered the Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, and that is known as the Bhagavad Gita. There is also the Uddhava Gita, in which Krishna speaks to Uddhava as the Yadavas destroy one another and Krishna’s own family faces its tragic end. In it, Krishna speaks about human nature and the tendencies that would increasingly shape the world, including greed, desire and a fondness for conflict.
“Even today, we see these tendencies around us. In a world filled with such challenges, family remains one of the few enduring sources of support. If those bonds also fall apart, what purpose remains for people to live for? That is why I deeply value family relationships and family values, and why I keep trying to tell stories about them.
“Some wells never run dry, no matter how much water is drawn from them. Family is like such a well—deep, sweet and capable of quenching our thirst and satisfying our deepest emotional needs. Families, their joys, their struggles, their fears, their problems and their solutions are all wonderful subjects to explore. And who is better suited to bring these stories to life than Venkatesh garu, the very embodiment of family entertainers? He has proved that a star can achieve tremendous success through films centred on family and relationships.
“Sri Sri once wrote, ‘The world is a Padmavyuha; poetry is an unquenchable thirst.’ Family, too, can be a Padmavyuha. Do we enter it like Abhimanyu, unable to find our way out, or do we enter like Arjuna and emerge victorious? That is what this film explores.
“My heartfelt thanks to every person who has been part of this film.
“Finally, Andhra Pradesh is currently facing severe cyclonic conditions. I pray that the people there remain safe and that this cyclone brings them only water, not tears. I join all of you in praying to the Almighty for their well-being.”
Srinidhi Shetty: “Working with Trivikram Is a Blessing”
Srinidhi Shetty said, “Aadarsha Kutumbam will be released on October 30, just three days from now. I sincerely hope you all watch the film and enjoy it. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of this project.
“I dubbed for myself because I wanted to sound as natural as a Telugu girl on screen. I am delighted to be part of a film produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations. Chinababu garu and Naga Vamsi garu have been extremely supportive. I consider the opportunity to work under Trivikram garu’s direction a blessing. I would certainly encourage all my fellow actors to work with him.
“Venkatesh garu has been admired by audiences for decades. I learnt a great deal from him during the shoot, and it was a wonderful experience working with him.”
Thaman S: “This Is a Film of Words, Not Just Songs”
Music director Thaman S said, “I had been eagerly waiting for the combination of Venkatesh garu and Trivikram garu. I have loved their films since Nuvvu Naaku Nachav. Working on a film featuring this combination has been a dream come true for me.
“This is not merely a film of songs; it is a film of words. I have always admired Trivikram garu’s dialogues. Aadarsha Kutumbam is going to be something fresh and different. We have created a new kind of background score to suit the film, and seven more tracks are yet to come. I am confident that they will impress you all.
“I worked with great enthusiasm from the very first day. When I worked as a programmer under Mani Sharma garu for Athadu, I had the opportunity to observe Trivikram garu and immediately recognised his genius. His thoughts are always several steps ahead.
“In life, there are people whose words can guide us in the right direction. I choose to listen to Trivikram garu. My life changed after working with him on Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava. I am grateful to him for helping shape a new chapter in my life.
“Producer Radha Krishna garu never compromises on quality. He constantly encourages us by assuring us that he is there to support us. Venkatesh garu is incredibly energetic and always motivates everyone around him. I strongly believe that Aadarsha Kutumbam will emerge as a grand success.”
Nivetha Pethuraj: “Every Day on the Sets Felt Like a Holiday”
Nivetha Pethuraj said, “Every day on the sets of Aadarsha Kutumbam felt like a holiday. I always wanted to return to the shoot, and the entire team maintained such a positive atmosphere. I consider myself fortunate to be part of this film.
“Venkatesh garu is not only a great actor but also a wonderful human being. It was a pleasure sharing screen space with him. Thaman has delivered excellent music.
“This is my second film with Haarika & Hassine Creations. Trivikram garu gave me my first opportunity with Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which brought me considerable recognition as an actress. I am sincerely grateful to Trivikram garu and Chinababu garu for giving me the opportunity to be part of Aadarsha Kutumbam.
“Like all of you, I am eagerly looking forward to the film’s release on October 30.”
Brahmaji: “Speaking Trivikram’s Dialogues Is a Privilege”
Actor Brahmaji said, “I have acted in almost all of Trivikram garu’s films. Shooting for his films is always a lot of fun, and being able to deliver the dialogues he writes is a privilege for any actor. I have been fortunate enough to experience that privilege.
“Regardless of how many hits he delivers, Venkatesh garu remains humble and composed, like a sage. Producer Chinababu garu has always supported me. I hope everyone watches and enjoys this wonderful film, Aadarsha Kutumbam, when it releases on October 30.”
A Star-Studded Evening
Popular anchor Suma hosted the event, which remained lively and entertaining throughout the evening. Actors Rajitha, Satya, Udaybeer Sandhu, Yuvina and Raj Prajwal, lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry, choreographer Bhanu Master, fight choreographer Kevin Master and several other members of the film’s cast and crew attended the celebration and extended their best wishes for the film’s success.
With the much-loved combination of Victory Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas, a compelling story centred on family bonds, engaging entertainment and Thaman S’s music, Aadarsha Kutumbam – House No. 47 is gearing up for its worldwide theatrical release on October 30.
