Interview with Udaykiran
( Ekaloveyudu)
What is EkaluvUdu about?
It is a very good point that KRK came up with. More than the point, it is the narration style of the director that I liked the most. When KRK came to me with this concept about 3 years ago. Then we narrated the story to Medikonda Muralikrishna and he jumped on the wagon. This is a full length commercial entertainer. As the director put it, the film is about what one can do for love. We see people dying in the name of love. But the film shows that one has to live to let love live. It applies to anything. Most of the people vent out anger about the country not doing anything for them but they never think about what they did for the country. So we are giving this message not in the name of a message oriented film but a good entertainer.
What is your character?
Normal but responsible man. This is one character I liked very much. I am happy that I did get to do this character. The character is a bit challenging and different. I am sure people would appreciate this character.
Tell us about the audio
Music is a big asset to this film. Anil Krishna gave excellent compositions. When we thought of the film, we wanted to go with a new music director as there will be some freshness attached to it. Response to the audio is also very good.
If you have to talk about one person in this unit, who would that be?
It would be the producer Medikonda Muralikrishna. He is a producer who gave a blockbuster film of the range Narasimha Naidu. It is nice of him to take up a project with a new director. How many are looking at stories these days to produce a film? Murali Krishna garu decided to produce the film because he liked the story and has confidence in it. And then Ramesh Krishna, cinematographer for this film.
Ekaluvvyudu is a mythological character who sacrifices his thumb for the teacher. What is Ekaluvvyudu giving away in this film?
You will have to see it on screen. Even though the point comes from Mahabharat, there are no giving aways.
Tell us about the heroine
Keerti is natural. She delivered to the edge on what director wanted. And in this film, heroine role has a good scope. I am sure she will get a good name after the release.
Is this a love story?
When there is a hero and a heroine, naturally hero has to love the heroine (laughs). There are several types of love stories. For eg: A family story with love story in a light way etc. This film will have depth in love story and at the same is a family story. The balance is done very well by the director.
What is your impression on KRK? This is his first film.
I worked with several debut directors including Teja, VN Aditya etc. Coming to KRK, I see a lot of fire and energy in him. I am sure this film will do lot of good for both me and KRK.
After Manasanta Nuvve, we havent seen such range in your films.
Manasantha Nuvve is the best film of my career so far. It is a great film. Even today I get compliments from people enquiring about when I would do another such film again. The feel of the film still haunts me. If our writers can come up with such good script and the right put in place, I will surely do it and it would see that range.
If you are offered the sequel of Manasantha Nuvve, would you do it?
I will not. In fact, it would be absurd trying to do a sequel to such a good film. Manasantha Nuvve is a good love story. One can try remaking it again but not the sequel.
You are back after a while. How are you feeling about the new innings?
Gunde Jallumandi has filled me up with new positive energy. I am happy to see that audience like my choice of subject. That is a good boost. I am confident that Ekaluvvyudu will also be a good hit.
Is there any character that you love to do?
Yes. Karthik's character in Mounaragam. I really love that.
We wish Udaykiran and the entire unit of Ekaluvvyudu all the best.
