'Kothapallilo Okappudu' is a Different, Very Amusing Film; Everyone Will Enjoy It: Director Praveena Paruchuri at Press Meet
Rana Daggubati's Spirit Media presents the rural comedy 'Kothapallilo Okappudu.' Directed by actress-turned-filmmaker Praveena Paruchuri, known for her association with critically acclaimed films like C/O Kancharapalem and Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya, the film is produced by Paruchuri Vijaya Praveena Arts. Starring Manoj Chandra and Monika in lead roles, the film has already garnered a positive response for its first look, teaser, and trailer. With its release slated for July 18th, the team recently held a press meet to share more insights.
Hero Manoj Chandra: A Film That Will Reside in Hearts
Speaking at the press meet, hero Manoj Chandra expressed his deep connection to the film: "Hello everyone. 'Kothapallilo Okappudu' is a place in the film, but this film has a place in our hearts. On the 18th, we are coming straight into your hearts. My gratitude to producer and director Praveena Garu for making our dream a reality. Thanks to Rana Garu for introducing me through Spirit Media. I have personally witnessed the hard work of every artist and technician who worked on this film. I will be indebted to them for life. My heartfelt thanks to everyone by name. I hope you all come to theaters, support us, and enjoy our film. To act in Praveena Paruchuri's films, one doesn't just act; one has to live the role. I have breathed life into the character of Ramakrishna. I hope you all enjoy this film. Please do come to theaters. We will not disappoint you. Thank you so much."
Director Praveena Paruchuri: A Unique Vision and Audience Trust
Director Praveena Paruchuri shared her unique approach: "Hello everyone. This is my third film, and I wanted it to have a special uniqueness. We shot a village with a foreign cinematographer. A foreign DOP worked on this film. I made my first film, C/O Kancharapalem. I thought one film would be enough in my life. Audiences gave that film a huge success. The audience's encouragement surprised me greatly. Their encouragement enabled me to make another film. Many say they missed watching C/O Kancharapalem in theaters. Please do not miss this film in theaters. The film is very amusing. You will laugh heartily while watching it. The second half will have some sensibilities and concepts in my style that will definitely make you think. I urge everyone not to miss it in theaters on July 18th. This time, I directed this film myself. I made it with faith in you all. I have full faith that you will embrace this film."
Supporting Cast and Crew Echo Enthusiasm
Actor Ravinder Vijay stated, "Hello everyone. Praveena Garu introduced me to Telugu cinema. She gave me a very good role in this film. I also got the opportunity to work with a good team. Please watch the film. You will know what a good story it is. Everyone watch it in theaters on July 18th."
Actor Banerji added, "Hello everyone. You have seen the film's trailer. You must have an idea of the film's genre. Everyone who worked on this film gave their best. Everyone owned the film. The product has turned out wonderfully. Praveena wonderfully led the narrative as a producer and director. This film will definitely give a very new experience. No one should miss it in theaters on July 18th."
Actor Phani expressed his gratitude: "Hello everyone. Thank you to the producer and director for giving me this film opportunity. I like Praveena Garu very much as a human being. She treated all of us like her own family. This is a very different film. You will all like it." Other unit members also participated in the press meet.
