Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati played the lead roles in the upcoming Telugu film Bheemla Nayak, the official remake of the super hit Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum. With the film releasing in a couple of days, the makers organized a grand pre-release event in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The entire cast and crew attended the event. Telangana ministers KTR, Talasani, and others graced the event as chief guests.
"It is a surreal moment. I thank the good people around me who is responsible for getting this opportunity," said Saagar K Chandra, speaking at the event.
Talking about Rana, the director said, "Rana is a resilient person. If God gives me a chance to relive again, I would choose to live like Rana."
Saagar also said, "I thank Samyuktha Menon, Samuithrakhani, Rao Ramesh and others for being a part of the film."
"I thank Ravi K Chandran sir. I watched his Dil Chahtha Hai and Black. AS Prakash garu is a wonderful technician who erected a railways station set in just 2 days and mesmerized us. I thank the entire crew," said the director.
Saagar K Chandra then revealed about the good persons surrounded him and credited them for getting a chance to direct the film.
"Naga Vamsi garu is the first person who bought me into the project. Chinna Babu garu's affection towards me is never-ending. Trivikram Srinivas is the backbone of Bheemla Nayak and without him, there is no Bheemla Nayak. Without him doing the screenplay and dialogues, the film would certainly be different. The one-and-half year journey with Trivikram garu is a great learning experience for me that I would never forget." said Saagar.
In the end, Saagar said, "Pawan Kalyan garu does not want to be called as Power Star. But, he is a great personality. To sum up his attitude in a few lines, I would like to quote a Ghazal from Piyush Mishra."
Bheemla Nayak also features Nithya Menen, Samyuktha Menen, Brahmaji, Raghu Babu, Murali Sharma and others. Directed by Saagar K Chandra, the film is written by Trivikram Srinivas. Sithara Entertainments bankrolled the film.
