Everyone is enjoying watching Patang in theatres: Director Praneeth Pattipati Director<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Praneeth Pattipati expressed his happiness over the audience’s positive response to the film Patang. \u201cThe appreciation I am receiving for Patang is truly gratifying. Seeing audiences respond so well today makes me feel my hard work has paid off,\u201d said Praneeth Pattipati. Patang, directed by Praneeth Pattipati, was produced under the banners of Cinematic Elements, Rishan Cinemas, and Monsoon Tales, and was presented by noted producer D. Suresh Babu. This sports drama has been produced by Vijay Shekhar Anne, Sampath Maka, Suresh Kothinti, and Nani Bandreddy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since its release, the film has been received as a youthful entertainer. Many viewers have praised it as \u201cone of the best films in recent times.\u201d On this occasion, director Praneeth Pattipati spoke to reporters on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about the audience feedback, Praneeth Pattipati said, \u201cBoth word-of-mouth and box office collections are increasing day by day. The film is receiving a universally positive response. Audiences are expressing satisfaction, saying they have watched a good movie. Everyone is enjoying it. Especially the climax scenes give the feeling of watching a match live in a stadium.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about his background, Praneeth Pattipati shared, \u201cI was born and brought up in Hyderabad. I studied DFTech at Ramanaidu Film School. Patang is my debut film as a director.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Explaining the reason behind making a film on kite competitions, he said, \u201cIt was a Sankranti day. While we have made films with sports stories like rugby, which we borrowed from abroad, I felt this is our native sport\u2014so why not make a film on it? That\u2019s how Patang started. After beginning the project, I realised why no one had made such a film before\u2014because of the extensive CG work involved. The visual effects took a lot of time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about the delay in the film\u2019s release, Praneeth Pattipati responded, \u201cThe CG work took two years. It was very difficult. The primary reason for the delay was the CG in the climax scenes. Without any existing reference material, it took a lot of time. We did not compromise anywhere until the kites looked convincingly real on screen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting on the support from the producers over the past three years, he said, \u201cOur producers are the biggest strength of this film. I may have thought of compromising at times, but they never did. They spent significantly to ensure the film was made with quality. The richness and vibrant look of the film today is due to their investment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On industry support, he said, \u201cEveryone from the film industry who has seen the movie has praised it immensely. Especially SKN, Sundeep Kishan, Bellamkonda Suresh, and Dil Raju have appreciated it a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding difficulties in securing theatres during the Christmas season, Praneeth Pattipati said, \u201cWe are trying for theatres. I thought making the movie was the end of the journey, but only after making it did I realise the heavy effort involved in promotion and release. Even though the film has good word-of-mouth, due to lack of proper theatres and show timings, many people are unable to watch it. However, the theatres where the film is being screened are running full.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about director Gautham Vasudev Menon\u2019s role in the film, he explained, \u201cAs per the script, we initially approached Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Dil Raju, S. J. Suryah, and Nag Ashwin for that role, but they declined due to scheduling conflicts. We then felt Gautham Menon would be perfect for the part and approached him. After listening to the story, he agreed. He also enjoyed the dialogues written for his character.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to a question about the disappointment of not securing enough theatres, he said, \u201cI was upset on the first day. But slowly, the word-of-mouth began to spread. We are now receiving strong support from the industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked what he learned during the journey of Patang, he said, \u201cI learned a lot over these three years. More than filmmaking, marketing is extremely important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Praneeth Pattipati credited Nani Bandreddy as the key person behind initiating the project. \u201cHe is the reason this film started. The other producers were all brought in by him. There are no words to describe the effort and advice he contributed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On why the film was made with newcomers, he explained, \u201cWe felt newcomers would suit the story. I wrote the story and dialogues myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Patang is set for a wide overseas release on January 1. \u201cWe are planning a wide release abroad on January 1. I believe audiences there will also love it,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about his personal taste in films, he said, \u201cI enjoy commercial films in the entertaining zone. The comedy in my next film will be ten times more than in Patang.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing comparisons of his filmmaking style to Sekhar Kammula, he said, \u201cYes, my friends also say the same. I\u2019m happy to be compared to such a great director.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to a question about the heroine’s character in the film appearing confused and lacking clarity, he said, \u201cThat\u2019s actually based on my own character. I am often confused too. Though I am very precise when it comes to work, I tend to be confused about everything else. I\u2019ve seen many people like that regularly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
