\u201dAnnagaru Vostaru blends vintage mass-commercial style with a fresh presentation\u201d- Hero Karthi<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Star hero Karthi\u2019s much-awaited film \u201cAnnagaru Vostaru\u201d is all set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on the 12th of this month. Produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under the prestigious Studio Green banner and directed by Nalan Kumaraswamy, the film is designed as a new-age action-comedy entertainer. Krithi Shetty plays the female lead. In today\u2019s interview, Karthi shared several interesting highlights about the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cThe reason I agreed to do Annagaru Vostaru is director Nalan Kumaraswamy. His film Soodhu Kavvum has a cult following. Even the directors who attended yesterday\u2019s pre-release event spoke about how iconic that film was.<\/span><\/p>\n

– After eight years, Nalan is returning with this project. Usually, when directors stay away from films, people forget them, but in Nalan\u2019s case, audiences were waiting for his comeback.<\/span><\/p>\n

– We often think of superheroes as Batman or Superman, but in our culture, legends like NTR and MGR were true superheroes. They transformed cinema and politics. With that thought, Nalan imagined a story that revisits the 80s mass-commercial mania in a fresh way. The film takes place in a fictional world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cFor me, Annagaru Vostaru is a risky attempt. I can easily do films like Oopiri, but this film is an exciting challenge.<\/span>
\nNew types of films emerge only when writers are given complete creative freedom. Otherwise, the industry keeps repeating the same formula.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nalan has presented this film with visuals and music comparable to something like Avengers. That\u2019s why this film has been thrilling to work on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cHero, songs, villain, fights\u2026 this structure exists only in our industry. Perfect mass-commercial cinema happened in the 80s and 90s.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In our films, even during a serious narrative, we place a song to relax the audience and then pull them back into the story, this rhythm exists only here. Annagaru Vostaru follows that classic structure but is presented in a modern style.<\/span><\/p>\n

– It is not a period film. I never watched the legendary actors\u2019 films in theatres, but our parents always spoke about them. Even today, their photos are displayed in many households, people treat them like deities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cI always try to pick fresh stories. As an actor, my identity comes from my script choices. There were many crossovers between NTR and MGR Tamil films remade in Telugu and Telugu films remade in Tamil creating interesting parallels in their careers.<\/span>
\nYou will notice subtle references to these parallels in Annagaru Vostaru. Though Nalan\u2019s earlier films had multiple characters and tragic endings, this one is a hero-centric film.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– \u201cAs shown in the trailer, this is a superhero story set in a parallel world.<\/span>
\nI play a police officer who wears a safari uniform, and there\u2019s even a scene where I explain this to a judge, one of Nalan\u2019s quirky ideas.I have portrayed intense police roles earlier, but here the cop character is designed in a completely different tone.<\/span>
\nThe dialogues have a rhythmic flow, and even the music is treated differently.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– Nalan introduced Santhosh Narayanan to cinema. For this project, he initially considered another composer, but Santosh himself came forward and said, \u2018I want to do this film,\u2019 and joined the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Krithi Shetty has performed beautifully. She appears as a spirit reader and prepared thoroughly for the role. From the very first scene, I felt she acted exceptionally well.<\/span>
\nHeroines often get restricted to glamour, but Krithi sincerely puts in effort to be recognized as a strong performer. She wants to be known for acting, not just for dance or glamour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– I believe in teamwork. We discuss scenes with the director even moments before shooting. I contribute suggestions because once I\u2019m absorbed into a character, I understand how he should speak or behave.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Producer Gnanavel Raja has given massive support. Whatever the film required, he ensured it was provided.Creating the new world of Annagaru Vostaru was possible because of his backing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– Whenever someone attempts a new type of film, we must support them.<\/span>
\nOtherwise, filmmakers hesitate to take bold decisions. If a film like Satyam Shivam Sundaram hadn\u2019t been appreciated, would anyone dare to make something similar again?<\/span><\/p>\n

– Iam happy that Akhanda 2 has been confirmed, I\u2019m eagerly waiting for it.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve always admired K. Viswanath garu\u2019s films the emotions and character portrayals in his work are timeless.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
