Stars : Star Interviews : Ram talks about Kandireega's success

Ram is brimming with joy as his latest release, Kandireega , has turned out to be a hit. Released last Friday, the film took great openings and got talk of a super hit. "It took better openings than my earlier blockbuster Ready . Some say it would surpass the collections of Ready. But I am happy that my decision of taking 15 months of gap to release this film turned out to be fruitful," he said. He met the media men at his residence on August 15th.

Big hit in overseas too

Kandireega took bumper openings in USA too. Bigger than Ready.

About director

Santosh Srinivas has joined the league of big directors now. He said he'd do another film with me. I am glad that he projected me in a different angle altogether and he put everything in this film.

On comments about mix of several movies

Some are saying it is mix of two or three films. I don't comment on that but people are enjoying it to the fullest. I saw Kandireega on the first day of its release in a theater and witnessed the euphoric response from the audiences. People are laughing constantly as the movie progresses. What matters is the acceptance of the audiences and success.

Comparisons with Ravi Teja

On comparing with Ravi Teja in the film, all I can say, I take it as a compliment.

Sonu Sood, Hansika and Aksha..

Yes, I have more screen space with Sonu Sood than Hansika and Aksha. Enjoyed working with them all. Thankfully, scenes between Sonu and I have come out so well. Hansika is matured girl now than when I worked with her in Maska. Aksha has great future.

Mahesh calls on

Mahesh Babu called on me and congratulated on the movie's success. He spoke at length and I thank you for his support. He and Tarak (NTR Jr) always encourage me.

Clashing with Dhada

It was unfortunate to clash with another big movie. I think in future, our producers should plan the releases in co-ordination with other producers when two films are ready for release. Today, Telugu films are having tough time at Box-office, so success of a Telugu film is important to the industry. Clashing with another film should be avoided.

Next movies

I have finished first schedule of Karunakar's movie Endukante Premanta and from August 24th, shoot commences again. Will announce details of Gautham Menon's movie later.
