In this context, heroine Krithi Shetty interacted with media about the film.   How is your character going to be in 'Manamey? - My character's name in this is Subhadra. It will be different from the characters I have done till now. Very new to me. So far, I have done cute, soft, and bubbly characters. But this character is very strict. Is director Sriram Garu so strict during shooting! I asked that many times. He said that he wanted her to be so strict. I followed his vision.   Do you have similarities to Subhadra's character? - Personally, I don't get angry. I do not shout loudly. I am very friendly. The character of Subhadra is completely new to me.   A baby is seen in the teaser. Will you be seen as a mother in this? - I don’t know that. You will know when you see the movie (laughs). My character will be fully revealed only after watching the movie.   How was the working experience with Sharwanand? - Sharwanand Garu is one of the finest performers. I saw the movie yesterday. He performed brilliantly in every scene. His experience was evident. I have a favorite scene in this. I waited a lot for that scene. I thought a lot about how to do it. But Sharwanand came very casually and finished the scene brilliantly in one minute. I was stunned. - Sharwanand's performance is very difficult to match. It is a pleasure to work with him. There is also a baby in it. Shooting with a baby is not that easy. But Sharwanand handled it very beautifully. Very supportive.   What are the elements that attracted you when director Sriram Aditya narrated the story? - We have an entertaining film with a strong emotional connection. It has a wonderful kid and parent emotion. It connects to a global audience. This movie revolves around our three characters. That's why we named ourselves 'Maname'. It is a perfect family entertainer. It connects with everyone. There is entertainment in every scene.   The response to Bebamma's character in Uppena was great. Will Subhadra's character get a similar response? - I hope so. It depends on how the audience receives it. Uppena is a rustic love story. We are a rom-com. There is good emotion in my character in Maname. I hope the audience likes it.   How is the music in 'Manamey'? - Hesham gave excellent music. All the songs are catchy. Tappa Tappa is a good dance number. The background score connects very well.   How did it feel to shoot a major part of this film abroad? - We shot in London. London weather is very unpredictable. The house we shot in has many windows. Once a frame is set, the light changes. It rains suddenly. We had to wait until the light came back. It was a very difficult process.   How did it feel to work with the People Media Factory? - Very passionate producers. A lot of care was taken while in London. TG Vishwaprasad is very sweet.   How do you balance success and failures? - Success and failure are not in our hands. I have learned in this journey not to worry too much about things that are not in our control.   What kind of characters do you want to play? - I like doing princess characters. Characters like Anushka in Baahubali. Also, roles with action and martial arts backdrops.   Upcoming films? - I am doing three Tamil films. I am also doing a Malayalam film with Tovino Thomas.

'Queen of Masses' Kajal Aggarwal is playing the lead role in the movie "Satyabhama". Naveen Chandra plays the pivotal role of Amarender. This film is produced by Bobby Thikka and Srinivasa Rao Takkalapalli under the banner of Aurum Arts. "Major" film director Sashikiran Tikka acted as presenter and provided the screenplay. The crime thriller is directed by Suman Chikkala. The movie "Satyabhama" is set for a grand theatrical release on the 7th of this month. In an interview today, director Suman Chikkala explained the highlights of the movie. "I have a passion for movies and an interest in writing. While working a software job, I sought opportunities in the film industry. I participated in story discussions for some hit movies. Sashikiran is my best friend, and I have done script work for his films. When I thought of the 'Satyabhama' concept, our friends Ramesh and Prashanth in the US heard this line and developed it further. After that, Shashi and I also refined the script. Sashi entrusted me with the responsibility of directing this film, marking my directorial debut in Tollywood. Shashi worked hard to become a director and founded Aurum Arts to start the journey of young talent from his success. His idea is to give opportunities to new talents. I became a director because of Sashi." "Satyabhama's story encompasses both emotion and action. While writing this story, I didn't consider whether it was for a hero or a heroine; we wrote it for a person. Since the girl is the victim in the story, I thought it would be more impactful if it were a female lead. We believe that both emotion and action can resonate with the audience. Kajal Aggarwal immediately agreed to the role after hearing the story. She worked hard for the action sequences, performing stunts without a double. We were all concerned about the possibility of injuries disrupting the shoot, but she bravely performed all the stunts." "Naveen Chandra plays a key role in 'Satyabhama' as Kajal's partner. He portrays a writer who supports Kajal's character. Kajal quickly became a part of our team, involving herself in every aspect of the shoot. We never felt like we were working with a star. The AP has the Disha app, and Telangana has the She Safe app. If women face danger, they can send their location to She Teams through these apps, which will come to their aid. We tested these apps while on set, and the She Teams responded. If our movie helps any woman become aware of these apps and use them in real life, it will have conveyed a valuable message." "'Satyabhama' is purely fictional. I read police diaries and listened to their interviews, drawing inspiration from real-life incidents. Initially, our movie didn't have this name, but 'Satyabhama' is a powerful name in our mythology, so we chose it for its instant recognition. We want all the movies released this week to do well. If these films succeed, audiences will get used to coming to theaters. The movie will hit theaters next week, and Sricharan Pakala's music will be a major attraction. He elevated the film with his background score." "'Satyabhama' could be released pan-India, but it is a purely Hyderabad-based story, a native cinema. Hence, it is appropriate to release it in Telugu. It will be available on OTT platforms in all languages. I have previously worked on Pawan Kalyan's 'Panjaa'. Digital technology wasn't prevalent then, but now we watch global content on OTTs. The increasing influence of OTT has made our audience appreciate fresh content. This trend gives our writers and directors opportunities to create such movies. I have a few stories lined up and will announce my next movie soon."

The prosthetics removal process sounds like a memorable encounter. Kamal Haasan’s reflections on his collaboration with director Shankar during the Indian 2 audio launch reveal the depth of their artistic journey.

The twist involving Sivaji sir’s suggestion to drop their film in favor of Shankar’s dual-role concept adds a layer of affection and camaraderie.

Lastly, Kamal’s acknowledgment of those lost during the film’s making underscores the sacrifices and collective effort that elevate Indian beyond the screen. Kamal Haasan’s clarification about Senapathy’s age in Indian is intriguing. While he portrayed an older character, the speculation that Senapathy’s age in Indian 2 might be around 120 is dispelled. The truth is that Senapathy is only about 15 years older than Kamal himself—a testament to the actor’s versatility. The thematic exploration of identity in Indian 2 and its sequel, Indian 3, resonates deeply. Kamal’s assertion that he is both a Tamilian and an Indian reflects the film’s core concept. The rejection of the British “divide and rule” ideology, which exploited differences, is a powerful message. Today, as we navigate complex socio-political landscapes, this reminder to safeguard unity is timely. Kaniyan Pungundranar’s timeless verse, “Yathum oore, yavarum kelir” (Every city is your city; everyone is your kin), encapsulates the inclusive spirit of Tamil culture. The aspiration for a Tamilian leader to govern the country is a noble one, rooted in pride and unity.
