\u201cTheatres are shaking with hilarious entertainment in \u2018Hey Balwant\u2019\u201d: Comedian Sudarshan<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The hilarious entertainer \u2018Hey Balwant\u2019, starring promising hero Suhas and Shivani Nagaram as the lead pair, is directed by Gopi Achara and produced by B. Narendra Reddy under the Trishul Visionary Studios banner. The successful duo Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati have presented the film under the Nandipati Entertainments and Bunny Vas Works banners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Released this Friday (20th of this month), the film is receiving appreciation from audiences and praise from critics, racing ahead with blockbuster talk as a full-fledged entertainer. Comedian Sudarshan, who played a key role in the film and is entertaining audiences in theatres with his performance, spoke to the media on Sunday. Here are the highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n

People are calling it \u201cSudarshan 2.0\u201d in \u2018Hey Balwant\u2019?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done a really good character in this film. The movie is getting a crazy response. Audiences are thoroughly enjoying the \u201cBunk\u201d character I played and laughing wholeheartedly. The film is being appreciated as an entertaining ride from start to finish. The role I played has brought me a lot of recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did your entry into films happen?<\/span><\/p>\n

I acted in a short film called Amerikaku Daredi. It unexpectedly received a great response. Through that short film, I got an opportunity in Run Raja Run. After that, films like Dochey, Kumari 21F, Pataas, Samajavaragamana, Naari Naari Naduma Murari, and now Hey Balwant have brought me closer to audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compared to your previous films, your punchlines seem to have landed even better here?<\/span><\/p>\n

Because my character has good importance in this film, it got well elevated. The drinking scene and the naturopathy center scenes with Vennela Kishore are making theatres erupt with laughter. Along with my punchlines, Vennela Kishore, Suhas, Naresh, and Suhani have all delivered hilarious performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think is the reason behind the film\u2019s entertaining impact?<\/span><\/p>\n

I share a good rapport with everyone who acted in the film. We were all in sync in every scene. The closeness and flow among us made the scenes come out really well.<\/span><\/p>\n

We heard you are getting offers as a hero?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not ready to become a lead hero on the big screen right now. My entry into the film industry happened unexpectedly. I\u2019m just beginning to grow as a comedian, so I can\u2019t take that risk at this stage. I want to act alongside all heroes as a comedian. Once I settle as an actor, I can think about becoming a hero. If I ever do, it would be for small-concept OTT films.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier comedians also became heroes, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

They did so after establishing a strong identity as comedians. My career is just picking up momentum. I don\u2019t have such thoughts right now. If I ever become a hero, it would be for small, unique concepts that regular heroes usually don\u2019t do. I don\u2019t intend to do mainstream theatrical lead films.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think becoming a hero would reduce opportunities as a comedian?<\/span><\/p>\n

There is some truth to that. After acting as a hero in one film, some people might hesitate to offer smaller roles in other films, thinking it wouldn\u2019t look good. Because of that, we might unknowingly miss opportunities in some good films.<\/span><\/p>\n

As comedians, you often have to make jokes about yourselves. How do you handle that?<\/span><\/p>\n

I make jokes about myself too. I don\u2019t have any issues with that. Ultimately, entertaining the audience is what matters. I\u2019m ready to play any role for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you missing out on films due to being busy?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m quite busy right now. Sometimes I have to let go of good films due to date clashes. I\u2019ve also received offers in Tamil and Kannada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did anyone correctly predict \u2018Hey Balwant\u2019s\u2019 business before release?<\/span><\/p>\n

Even a day before release, many people met me. Most of them made wrong predictions. No one guessed it correctly. Some may have known but didn\u2019t say it openly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you satisfied with the roles you are doing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I feel satisfied. Recently, Samajavaragamana, Panchaminar, and Kishkindapuri brought me good recognition. Naari Naari Naduma Murari and now Hey Balwant have added to my name and fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your upcoming films?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done good roles in Mrutyunjaya and Godavari Gattu Meeda, which will be released soon. Apart from these, I\u2019m acting in a few more films.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
