The film Mrithyunjay, starring content king Sree Vishnu and directed by Hussain Sha Kiran, is an investigative thriller produced by Sandeep Gunnam and Vinay Chilakapati under the banners of Light Box Media and Picture Perfect Entertainment. Sree Vishnu, who previously delivered a blockbuster hit with Samajavaragamana, once again impressed audiences along with Reba Monica John. Released on March 6, the film is now a runaway blockbuster. In this context, the film unit organized a thrilling blockbuster success meet on Saturday, where the following statements were made:
Sree Vishnu said, “Sandeep garu, Pavan garu, and I wanted to collaborate on a film. At that time, Sandeep introduced me to Hussain Sha. Sandeep garu wanted to make a film purely based on content. On set, Ramya garu spent a lot of time looking after all of us. Chinna garu, Sudarshan, Raccha Ravi, Ayyappa Sharma garu, Reba garu, and Baby Ooha all delivered amazing performances. The audience is finding the film very fresh. Sagar garu presented all of us in a new light. Hussain’s writing and twists were excellent. I was even shocked by Kal Bhairav’s score. Because of him, the level of the film went up. He is the real hero of this film. Everyone who has watched it is praising it highly. For those who haven’t seen it yet, watch it immediately. It’s a rare thriller in Telugu, and this is a very good film in that genre. I hope everyone enjoys it, and I wish the film great success.”
Hussain Sha Kiran said, “‘Mrithyunjay’ was promoted without songs or comedy scenes. We connected with the audience purely through the content of the film. Seeing the positive reviews on social media after the release made us very happy. I thank the audience for supporting our film. Ramya garu, Vinay garu, and Sandeep garu gave me tremendous support throughout this journey. Baby Ooha performed wonderfully in the film. Raccha Ravi, Sudarshan, and others gave excellent performances. Kaala Bhairava elevated the film with his background score. My sister Manisha received recognition for her set designs. It was a pleasure to have Chinna garu in the film. None of this would have been possible without Sree Vishnu garu. His acceptance of the story brought all of us together. I feel I did not disappoint the trust he placed in me. I also thank my family for standing by me. I hope the audience continues to encourage our film in the same way.”
Sandeep Gunnam said, “We received tremendous support from the media for ‘Mrithyunjay’. From day one, the film got a great response. Media reviews and audience word-of-mouth matched perfectly. All the distributors who took the film are happy, and that is a huge success for me. Vinay and I started this journey to make great films together. Without Vinay, this project would not have happened. Hussain used to send every story idea to Sree Vishnu, and that’s how we made ‘Mrityunjay’. We had decided from the beginning to focus purely on the story rather than comedy. Everyone is impressed with Sagar’s visuals and the world created by Manisha. Kaala Bhairava’s score is receiving great responses. Reba delivered a remarkable performance. Sri Vishnu is very passionate; he lives and breathes stories and films. After our two-year journey, the story of ‘Mrityunjay’ was finalized. We felt our product was good, but the audience is calling it exceptional. I thank Sree Vishnu garu for trusting me with this film. We will win the Sunday final match, and from Monday, watch our film in theaters.”
Music director Kaala Bhairava said, “‘Mrithyunjay’ is receiving a lot of praise for its score. My team members Harsha Vardhan, Siddharth, Ebenezer Paul, and Vishal Bharadwaj contributed significantly, with Harsha Vardhan doing the most work. I thank the entire team. It was truly a team effort, which is why the output turned out so well. Sree Vishnu’s acting made my job easier. Hussain is like a family member to me, and I want to work with him again and again. Working with Sandeep garu has been a joy. I request the audience to continue supporting the film in the same way.”
