I will do a film for Bujji: NTR
On the occasion, NTR recalled his friendship and long association with the films producer Bujji. I am too young to talk about Venkatesh Babai, his success and his stature as actor. I am too small person to speak about Suresh Productions too. At this moment, I want to share an incident with Bujji. While I was doing Student No.1, a lean, dark colored guy with bad dress sense, came to me and introduces himself as Chitra Sai Buji and said that he is producer. He proposed to me to listen to a script done by Vinayak. He brought me Vinayak one day. Both Vinay and Bujji didnt have looks that we assume to have for a director or producer respectively. So I avoided them for days.
A month later, my mom said that a guy named Bujji is calling everyday to my residence number and bothering daily to talk to me. Just to skip this daily barrage of calls, I called them for a sitting the next day. After 20 minutes of the narration, I said okay for the project and thus born the Aadi, a film that changed my life and career and also Vinay and Bujjis. But somehow, Bujji could not carry off that success further for various reasons. His burning desire to achieve something made him to produce a film with Venky and Vinay. Their combo - Lakshmi, changed his life and introduced us a bigtime producer. I am happy for his great success although I feel sad for not helping him. I will definitely do a film for him very shortly, NTR recalled.
He also praised music directors Vishal Sekhar for their great numbers. When Bujji gave me the music CD, I wondered how they could do justice to a Telugu film. After listening, my apprehensions evaporated in a minute. I loved that Nahi Chodenge number very much. I congratulate Vishal Sekhar, NTR praised.
One of best musical hits in my career: Venky
Venkatesh said the music will be remembered for a long time. When the title Chintakayala Ravi was announced, it was immediately liked by everyone and speculations began. Regarding music, I am sure this would be one of the biggest musical blockbusters in my career, he termed. I thank Chandra Bose the lyricist for being there through out the musical sittings despite his hectic busy schedule and Vishal Sekhar for coming out with outstanding numbers, Venky thanked
He also hoped that the film would be bigger hit than the Lakshmi. Chintakayala Ravi is good family romantic entertainer. I thank writer Kona Venkat and director Yogi for coming up with good film. We had great fun in America. The working atmosphere in USA schedule was fabulous, he said.
Telugu is musical language: Vishal Shekar
Vishal Sekhar, the composers duo, termed Telugu language as the most lyrical and musical language in India. Even the people here are great lovers of good music. During the films shooting we not only met good people, we also made great friendship with them, they said.
Srinu Vaitla, who came to the ceremony as guest, said the films title is apt for a Venkys film. The entire team is close to me as Kona Venkat is my long time writer and Bujji is a dear friend. I also hope that Vishal - Sekhar do more Telugu films, he said.
The audio albums will be available from September 16, 2008 in market and Aditya Music is marketing them.
