Ram Pothineni and Boyapati Sreenu’s first movie together Skanda is set for release on September 15th. Meanwhile, the makers dropped the film’s trailer in an avenet which was graced by Nandamuri Balakrishna as the chief guest.
While speaking at the event, Boyapati Sreenu said, “I will make Akhanda 2 for sure. I’ve been traveling with Balakrishna garu for 15 years. I very well know what kind of a person he is. He lives in every character. I think I made a wonderful movie. Watch Skanda, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a beautiful family drama film with action and emotions. It’s a complete movie. Ram Pothineni is very passionate. More than a dancer, Sreeleela is a great performer. Saiee Manjrekar’s role is a suspense package. She is as pure as Ganga water. Congrats to all the National award winners, including Allu Arjun, and team RRR. Telugu industry should prosper. Chitturi Sreenu can only make this movie. I thank Yadava brothers for helping in the making of Sadar fight.”
Ram Pothineni said, “I thank Balakrishna garu for coming to the event. Thaman gave superb music. There will be a song to be released by the end of this month. I’m waiting for you to watch the song. Both Sreeleela and Saiee have done well. It’s a pleasure dancing along with Sreeleela. It was tough to get this look for the movie. It used to take 3 hours every day to get the desired look. We have been listening to Jai Balayya slogans for 3 generations. It is the biggest achievement for any actor in the world.”
Balakrishna said, “I’m happy to grace the occasion. It’s a big challenge to bring the audience to the theatres of late. Boyapati and I together did Simha, Legend and Akhanda. We are doing different stories every time. In fact, people are encouraging movies with new stories. Brother Ram challenged me with iSmart Shankar where he played a Telangana guy. I’m a Telanganite in Bhagavanth Kesari. He is now doing Double iSmart. I’ve been seeing his journey from the beginning. He is attempting different movies. I wish he would do many more such movies. It’s hard to find Telugu heroines these days. She is a good performer and dancer. She’s doing Bhagavanth Kesari with me.”
