The highly anticipated movie "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" brings together Victory Venkatesh, blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi, and the successful production house Sri Venkateswara Creations. Presented by Dil Raju and produced by Sirish, the film stars Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh as the female leads, with music by sensational composer Bheems Ceciroleo. The film's released songs have already become hits, creating significant buzz, and the trailer has further amplified expectations. "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" is set to hit theaters on January 14th. Victory Venkatesh recently shared his excitement and insights about the film in a press meet.
On his excitement for the film:
"This is another Sankranti release in my career. I'm delighted to be back with a clean and entertaining film. It also has a little crime element and a new genre. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey of this film. Everything about it has been positive. Most of my films released during Sankranti have performed very well. I'm confident that this film will also be a great success."
On the energetic promotions:
"It happened naturally. I loved the music, and I enjoy dancing. Some of the tunes were so captivating that they made me want to dance. We had a lively team with director Anil and the two heroines. We wanted to do something new with the promotions, and I'm happy that the audience enjoyed them."
On singing for the film:
"I was listening to one of the songs at 2 a.m., and I couldn't help but dance to it. The song has an infectious energy. I jokingly said I would sing it myself. My voice was in good form that day, and the English words in the song made it even easier for me (laughing)."
"The song sung by Ramana Gogula in this film has become a big hit. He sang for my film after a long gap, and I'm delighted with the response it has received."
On what excited him about the story:
"The tagline - 'Ex-cop, ex-girlfriend, excellent wife' - sounded very fresh. I knew right then that this film had the potential to be a hit. Anil and I have a superhit combination, and we are good friends. The comedy style in this film is a bit different. We tried something new and subtle. There are fresh scenes, and the film has turned out wonderfully. I have a good rapport with Anil, and I want to continue doing movies with him."
On the female leads:
"Both Meenakshi and Aishwarya have done fantastic jobs with their roles. Their characters are very interesting."
On Bheems's music:
"Bheems worked very hard and delivered excellent music. He believed this film would be a breakthrough for him. When we heard the first tune, we knew it would be a hit, and it has become a super blockbuster. That's the greatness of the audience. The 'Godari Gattu' song has crossed 85 million views. All the songs have received a wonderful response."
On his character:
"When Anil narrated my ex-cop character, I found it hilarious, especially the scene where my ex-girlfriend confronts me, asking if I've been thinking about her all this time while having four children. I enjoyed performing such scenes. I have four children in this film, and I had to handle one of them quite a bit (laughing)."
"The climax dialogues are going to be crazy. The audience will be thoroughly entertained. The youth will love the dialogues."
On his involvement in filmmaking:
"It's true that if I'm on the sets, the producer doesn't need to be there, as Dil Raju garu mentioned. I've always been this way since childhood. I treat every film as my own and want everyone to be happy. I work sincerely. I've been associated with Dil Raju's production since Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. The journey with them is very comfortable. All the films we've done together have been successful, and I wish them continued success."
On the quick pace of filming:
"I'm happy that we finished the film in 70 days. Everything went smoothly according to plan."
On what he would tell the audience:
"We are coming with a very nice festival film. It has a lot of entertainment. The climax will be a surprise. Children, adults, and youth - everyone will enjoy it."
On his experience on Balakrishna's Unstoppable show:
"I'm glad I went. It was a great time and a very nice experience."
On dealing with hits and flops:
"All we can do is work honestly and sincerely. Hits and flops are not in our hands. I don't overthink things beyond my control."
On his positive social media presence:
"It's important to be positive in life. Overthinking is unnecessary. If you start the day with a positive thought, life will be much more enjoyable."
On his upcoming projects:
"Rana Naidu 2 might release in March. The dubbing is done. I'm currently working on stories with Suresh Productions, Sithara Entertainments, Mythri Movie Makers, and Vyjayanthi Movies. Nothing has been finalized yet."
With Venkatesh's infectious enthusiasm and the buzz surrounding the film, "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" seems poised to be a Sankranti treat for audiences, offering a delightful blend of entertainment, humor, and heartwarming emotions.
