Sukumar Interview with Puri Jagannadh Highlights

Two mass geniuses sat together and spoke endlessly about cinema, sharing working experiences, suggestions, and complimenting each other's work.

Here's the Highlights from the Interview:

Puri Jagannadh: Allu Arjun came up with the Liger core idea because he thought the protagonist needed a defect (Stammering), and we discussed it during Iddarmmayilatho.

Sukumar: I wanted to work as an assistant director under you sir following the success of Badri's film, but it didn't work out.

Sukumar: Following its release, the film Idiot became a hot topic in director circles. How he came up with those newscenes in such a distinct style, and how Raviteja's attitude"Chanti gadu Local" has influenced many filmmakers. As a director, I was strongly influenced by the film Idiot. There, I learned how to write a story with strong characterization.

Sukumar: Why do you make orphans and struggling characters your protagonists?

Puri Jagannadh: They win battles because they know how to exist in the world and go anywhere.
