‘Couple Friendly,\u2019 is a film that appeals not only to youth but also to family audiences: Distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCouple Friendly\u201d stars Santosh Soban as the hero and Manasa Varanasi as the heroine. Presented by the prestigious production house UV Creations, the film is being grandly produced in Telugu and Tamil under the banner of UV Concepts. Ajay Kumar Raju P. is the co-producer, and Ashwin Chandrasekhar is directing the film. Made as a musical romantic love story, \u201cCouple Friendly\u201d is set to release in Telugu and Tamil on February 14, on the occasion of Valentine\u2019s Day. Passionate producer and distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni is releasing the film in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In a recent interview, he shared the highlights of the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

– I watched \u201cCouple Friendly\u201d fifteen days ago and really liked it. I called Pramod anna and Vamsi anna and told them I wanted to distribute this film. After they agreed, I took up the project. It\u2019s a beautiful love story set against the backdrop of Chennai. Looking at the title, many may think it\u2019s a film meant only for youth, but that\u2019s not true. The movie also has strong family emotions. Audiences will see the journey of two characters, Shiva and Mitra.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The film includes only about 15 minutes related to the concept of a live-in relationship. The rest of the story focuses on how Mitra and Shiva\u2019s lives change after they meet, and how they support each other. The hero comes from Nellore to Chennai, trying to settle down as an interior designer. The heroine comes from Chittoor to Chennai in search of a job. What happens after they meet forms the core story.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The heroine keeps telling the hero that she has something to tell him, creating a bit of suspense. That element is intentionally maintained in the film. The censor board raised objections about the title and suggested that we change it. However, we said we couldn\u2019t make any changes at this stage. There should be a new system where titles receive prior approval from the censor board at the registration stage itself. It\u2019s not just our film; recently, even a film titled \u201cChaiwala\u201d faced similar objections.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Santosh Soban\u2019s performance as Shiva will impress everyone. He has delivered a very settled and mature performance. Everyone wishes for Santosh to score a good hit with this film. We hope this movie becomes a hit for him and helps him grow into a bigger star. When young heroes like Santosh achieve success, they get more opportunities, and the industry benefits overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The film was shot extensively in Chennai. Shooting in Chennai is very difficult, as getting permissions is challenging even Tamil films face issues. However, the team shot the film using a guerrilla-style approach. Recently, we had to adopt a similar method while shooting for \u201cChennai Love Story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cCouple Friendly\u201d is a heart-touching love story that families can watch together. With our films, we usually move audiences emotionally. While director Ashwin may not make the audience cry, he has made a deeply touching film. His script is perfectly structured, with every scene linked seamlessly to the next. He has not only written a strong script but also presented it in a way that connects with all audiences. After watching the film, we felt that if we had been involved from the beginning, we might have made it 10 percent more intense. However, it\u2019s not appropriate for distributors to suggest changes after the film is complete. The director, hero, and production house believed in this story from the start.<\/span><\/p>\n

– I distribute films that I personally like. Without any hurry, I choose only those that genuinely impress me. Currently, \u201cCouple Friendly\u201d is competing with Sitar\u2019s \u201cFunky\u201d film. There is also competition in terms of theatres. On Valentine\u2019s Day, re-releases like \u201cManasantha Nuvve\u201d and \u201cLove Story\u201d are also hitting screens. Since ours is a new film, it will have its own audience, just as those films will have theirs. Re-releases depend on the producers\u2019 choice. However, except for a few major star heroes, re-releases for other heroes haven\u2019t shown significant results.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Presently, the shooting of \u201cChennai Love Story\u201d is underway. We are also producing a film with Sangeeth Soban as the hero. Additionally, we are making a children\u2019s film with young kids, which will release in the summer. We are in script discussions with a few star heroes and will announce a film with one of them under our banner within this year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
