The film is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. The film is scheduled to release on September 11. As part of the promotions, the trailer was released on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The trailer begins with the line, \u201cMy name is Anand\u2026 sorry, sorry\u2026 Aditya. I want to become a director. There is some magic in cinema. I want to make a good film, our film,\u201d and immediately grabs attention. The hero travelling abroad and the situations he encounters there are sure to connect strongly with the youth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The scenes between the lead pair and their love track appear refreshing. The scene featuring Kalyan Shankar and his dialogue are also likely to strike a chord with young audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The trailer takes an emotional turn when the hero\u2019s mother asks, \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you sending money to pay the loan EMI?\u201d and he responds, \u201cIf you didn\u2019t even pay my college fee when you gave birth to me, then why do I need you, Mom?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The hero\u2019s dialogue, \u201cIf we want to break up, should we really break up by insulting each other and blaming one another?\u201d followed by the heroine\u2019s words, hints at an emotional, feel-good love story. The hero asks, \u201cDo you know when a relationship becomes epic?\u201d The final dialogues of the trailer are also designed to appeal strongly to the youth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EPIC - Trailer | Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya | Hesham AW | Naga Vamsi S | Aditya Hasan\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8doc_Zq0Anw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The trailer launch event was attended by National Crush Rashmika Mandanna and successful director Shiva Nirvana as chief guests. Speaking on the occasion:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Rashmika Mandanna<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cI liked the trailer of Epic. Anand is always thinking about cinema. He works hard only for cinema. I was told that the character of Kadali will be a great one. Vaishnavi will earn a lot of recognition with this film. When I look at Aditya, I feel proud. After 90s, the responsibility on him has increased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hesham\u2019s music is always great. It is wonderful to see and meet Shivaji garu here. Epic is arriving on September 11, with premieres on September 10. I will watch the film along with the team. I wish Epic a tremendous success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Anand Deverakonda<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThank you to everyone who came to the Epic trailer launch event. Special thanks to our sister-in-law Rashmika, who came here for us. I am fortunate to have a sister-in-law who has always supported me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">There is a reason why we titled the film Epic. There are many epic moments in our lives. When we are going through difficult times and our partner comes and holds us or kisses us on the forehead, that becomes an epic moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I believe everyone will like the trailer. New directors bring fresh ideas into the industry. Aditya observes everyone\u2019s lives very closely. This film will feel like therapy for everyone. It is an emotional film. It will feel like we are watching ourselves on screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This is a beautiful film. It will surprise everyone and appeal to everyone. Epic is like a beautiful story that would emerge if you combined Ye Maaya Chesave and Premalu. Hesham has given us wonderful music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Vaishnavi has done an amazing job as Kadali. She will surprise everyone with her performance. I want Vaishnavi to reach much greater heights. Our film is coming on September 11. Our film will move everyone emotionally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Vaishnavi Chaitanya<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThank you to Rashmika garu and Shiva Nirvana garu for coming here for Epic. I have been doing films under the Sithara banner, and I am very happy to do Epic under this banner as well. I hope to do many more good films in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Aditya garu is my favourite director and friend. Thank you to Aditya garu for seeing me as Kadali and giving me this opportunity. Azeem garu has presented all of us beautifully and crafted every frame wonderfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hesham garu has given us great music. I became acquainted with Anand through Baby. He was the same person then and he is the same now. I really like that quality in Anand \u2014 he has always remained the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Anand is happier when the people around him grow. I believe Kalyan Shankar garu will become a busy and successful artist with this film. Epic will definitely be a good success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shivaji<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThanks to Aditya and Naga Vamsi garu for giving me a good role in Epic. All of this is a world created by Aditya. 90s was a miracle in my career. Aditya is excellent at narrating stories. All these stories have come from Aditya\u2019s own life,\u201d he said jokingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cI have decided that I want to do characters and films that remain in the audience\u2019s memory. Along with the importance of my role, I also look at whether the story is good or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The film has much greater emotion than what has been shown in the trailer. This is not just a Gen Z film. Every generation will embrace this movie. It will connect even more strongly with youngsters studying abroad and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Romance and breakups are part of the story. We did not write scenes merely with the intention of bringing audiences into theatres. The climax is very emotional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Everyone should come to theatres on September 11. Chapter 2 will be on another level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aditya Hasan<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cEveryone must have experienced a cultural shock after watching the Epic trailer. Even though I am coming from the world of 90s, there are some elements here that may feel shocking. This was not done merely for attraction. There is a lot of emotional depth in the film. Everyone will understand that after watching it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Everyone will like Epic. There is innocence in this movie. Anand, Vaishnavi, Shivaji garu and Vasuki garu have all acted wonderfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hesham\u2019s songs and background score will impress everyone. Azeem\u2019s visuals are going to be great. Thanks to everyone who worked on Epic. This film will remain memorable for everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shiva Nirvana<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cIt is a pleasure to see so many young directors like this. Aditya\u2019s writing is very good. Anand and Vaishnavi\u2019s Baby was a huge success. The fact that Aditya has brought the same pair together again, while ensuring that Epic has no similarities with Baby, is a great achievement. We can say that Aditya has succeeded in that aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The visuals looked amazing. This film will connect well with Gen Z audiences. Hesham has created magic with his music. Anand has always treated me like his own brother. With his films and acting, Anand has reached the grassroots level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">It makes me happy to see Vaishnavi\u2019s growth. Shivaji garu has been impressing audiences with every film, be it Court or Dhandora. All theatres should be buzzing with energy. I wish Epic a great success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shailesh Kolanu<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cJust seeing Aditya\u2019s name is enough to go for the first-day-first-show. I love 90s very much. Epic is once again coming from that same world. Aditya\u2019s writing is brilliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Anand and Vaishnavi were fantastic in Baby. I hope this pair achieves another great success. The visuals are good and Hesham garu\u2019s music is excellent. Everyone should watch Epic on September 11.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Kalyan Shankar<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cFirst of all, I have to thank Aditya for Epic. I liked the story immediately after Aditya narrated it to me. This film starring Anand and Vaishnavi will become a bigger hit than Baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">It was a great experience working with Shivanna. The film is going to be amazing. Aditya continues to work extremely hard for the film until the very end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Vinod Anantoju<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cI have already watched Epic. Aditya has written and directed it wonderfully. The film is entertaining throughout while also touching the audience emotionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Vaishnavi\u2019s character is going to be a great one. It has been a long time since we have seen a film like this. Middle Class Melodies, which I made with Anand, had to release on OTT because of the COVID pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Renowned director Sai Marthand<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cVaishnavi and Anand\u2019s performances in Epic are excellent. Shivaji garu has delivered an outstanding performance in the climax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">It has been a year since Aditya\u2019s Little Hearts was released. I hope Epic achieves a bigger success than Little Hearts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Music Director Hesham Abdul Wahab<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThank you to everyone who has been giving me great opportunities in Telugu. Thanks to Aditya for giving me the opportunity to work on Epic. The film has come out wonderfully. It has been a pleasure working with the Epic team. Anand and Vaishnavi have acted brilliantly. I hope Epic achieves an epic success worthy of its title.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Srinivas Gavireddy<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThe Epic teaser received a great response. The trailer is fantastic. Epic will be one of the memorable love stories in the industry. Kadali and Aditya will remain memorable to everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Cast<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Shivaji, Vasuki, Rohan and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Technical Crew<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Banner: Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Producers: Suryadevara Naga Vamsi &amp; Sai Soujanya<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Writer &amp; Director: Aditya Hasan<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Music: Hesham Abdul Wahab<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Cinematographer: Azeem Mohammed<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Editor: Naveen Nooli<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Production Designer: Avinash Kolla<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">PRO: LakshmiVenuGopal<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2018Epic\u2019 should become a huge success\u201d \u2013 National Crush Rashmika Mandanna at the trailer launch event \u201cAll theatres should be buzzing with vibe. \u2018Epic\u2019 should become a big success\u201d \u2013 Shiva Nirvana \u201c\u2018Epic\u2019 is a beautiful film and will surprise everyone\u201d \u2013 Anand Deverakonda Starring Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya in the lead roles, Epic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":577608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,17,28,20],"tags":[70047,1519,69489,71429,430,45126],"yst_prominent_words":[13052,10846,30851,25633,8910,10256,12458,18620,27194,33663,16210,26139,38270,48063],"read":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":577610,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577607\/revisions\/577610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577607"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=577607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
