It’s interesting to hear about the close relationship between producer Anil Sunkara and superstar Mahesh Babu, as well as their collaborations in the film industry. Anil Sunkara seems to hold a special place in Mahesh’s projects, and their professional rapport is quite evident from the films they have worked on together like Dookudu, Aagadu, Sarileru Neekevvaru. Anil Sunkara also has a place in Mahesh’s upcoming movies list. The producer talks to Mahesh about his films from time to time. Anil Sunkara recently said in an interview that Mahesh told him something that helped him a lot, when he told him that he was doing a film with Chiranjeevi Garu.
“Obviously I don’t go to shootings much. It is not possible to go to shootings because I travel regularly America to India due to other businesses. But if I do a film with Mahesh, I will definitely be there. I have also gone to Bholaa Shankar’s shooting many times. The reason for this is “Mahesh told me to stay on the sets while working with Chiranjeevi Garu. Mahesh’s words helped me a lot. Chiranjeevi Garu liked it very much that I was on the sets and watched everything closely,”.
“I like the subject of Vedhalam very much. We got Chiranjeevi’s dates because of that movie. Meher Ramesh told this subject to Chiranjeevi Garu two years ago. He liked it very much. Covid and other commitments of Chiranjeevi Garu are the reason for the delay. The shoot was completed in 120 working days and I got to spend 40 days with Chiranjeevi gaaru.” said Producer Anil Sunkara.
Anil Sunkara says Chiranjeevi Garu gave him suggestions on budget control. “Budgets of every movie are increasing for various reasons. Chiranjeevi gaaru used to caution us about the budget. He knows where to control the budget. His suggestions worked definitely well for the movie.”
He is confident of the movie to get huge openings. “Bholaa Shankar is a mass family entertainer. I and Chiranjeevi garu are very happy with the output of the movie. Brother-sister emotion is universal. It will connect to everyone.”
