Producer Rajesh Danda, who is backing People's Star Sandeep Kishan's landmark 30th film "Majaka," directed by "Dhamaka" fame Trinadha Rao Nakkina, recently shared insights about the movie in a press meet. "Majaka," a mass entertainer releasing grandly in theaters on February 26th as a Shivaratri gift, has already generated significant buzz with its teaser and songs.
Here are some key highlights from Rajesh Danda's interaction with the media:
On the expectations from "Majaka" after "Bachchalamalli":
- "I made 'Bachchalamalli' with the intention of making a different film. 'Majaka' is a good entertainer and a family film. It's a mass entertainer in the style of director Trinadh Rao and writer Prasanna. I will continue to make films with good entertainment value."
On the quick succession of song and trailer releases:
- "We released the teaser earlier, and it's still resonating with the audience. We released the 'Sommasilli' song before the trailer, and it's trending in the top charts. The release date is crucial for us, and we've all worked hard for it."
On the idea behind the live shooting:
- "It was Anil's (co-producer) idea. We had limited time for the release, and Anil suggested this unique approach. It received a great response."
On the plans for paid premieres:
- "We are planning to have a paid premiere tomorrow."
On his experience of watching the film:
- "It's definitely a very good film with good entertainment and family emotion. There's a good twist at the interval, and how it leads the second half is very interesting. Sandeep and Rao Ramesh's scenes, Sandeep and Ritu's love story, and Rao Ramesh and Anshu's track are all very good. It will be a better film than 'Bairavaa' for Sandeep."
On the film's business:
- "I'm very happy. We are releasing this film in profits. This is the biggest release in Sandeep Kishan's career."
On casting Rao Ramesh:
- "The director always had Rao Ramesh in mind for the father's role. His performance will impress everyone. The comedy in this is very fresh."
On the title justification:
- "We wanted a title with good entertainment value. This is a film with a celebratory vibe, and 'Majaka' seemed like the perfect title."
On working with Trinadha Rao Nakkina:
- "Working with him was a wonderful experience. He shot the film beautifully. I want to do another film with him. We are also thinking of making a sequel to this film. We have even added the title 'Double Majaka' at the end of the film."
On the message in "Majaka":
- "Along with entertainment, there's also a good message in this. Two bachelors yearn to have a family photo in their house. It's a beautiful emotion in the film."
On the response from those who have already watched the film:
- "We showed the film to my friends, some producers, and distributors. They said the entertainment and emotion were very good. They enjoyed the songs. What I believed in has worked out."
On his future projects:
- "Our writer Bhanu is doing a film with Raviteja. After that's completed, we have to prepare a story for the sequel of 'Samajavaragamana.'"
- "We are doing a big project with Anil next year. There will be an announcement this year."
- "A project with Samyuktha is underway. Also, the shooting of a film with Kiran Abbavaram is going on."
"Majaka" seems to be a promising entertainer with a blend of comedy, emotion, and family sentiment. With positive early reviews and strong business prospects, it looks like Sandeep Kishan and the team have a potential winner on their hands.
