Tholi Prema holds a significant place in the illustrious career of Power Star Pawan Kalyan. In celebration of its 25th release anniversary, the film is set to be re-released in theatres tomorrow. Before the re-release, director Karunakaran unveiled captivating trivia about the movie.
During a recent interview, Karunakaran disclosed an intriguing incident involving Amitabh Bachchan and the climax of Tholi Prema. He revealed, “The climax of Tholi Prema generates tremendous tension among the audience as the hero refrains from expressing his love until the end. While watching the climax, Amitabh ji became irritated and impulsively tossed his car keys at the TV screen due to the hero’s delayed confession.”
Karunakaran further shared, “Jaya Bachchan ji, who was viewing the film alongside him, expressed her delight and applauded when the heroine returned.” This incident was relayed to Karunakaran by Amitabh himself during their encounter at an event in Chennai. Receiving such a compliment from a legendary actor served as a momentous achievement for Karunakaran.
