Question: In Godavari Film, if you were to act in Godavari, would it be Sumant's Character or Kamal Kamaraju?
Hi, first of all I cannot act for nuts...really bad actor....but if you are talking about which character I like....I would say Ram....simply because he is ideal...

What makes Happy Days different from your previous films and why do you think it will be successful? Which part of the story or essence that says to you to yes this is what I like and iI am going to work on the story to make a movie
?
It is a complete college film...four years of engineering experience..characters represent the student community...I really feell telugu films have grossly misrepresented the student community by and large ..so I know this will work ....

After your first film, we heard that, if you were given a chance, you should have cast a BIG HERO instead of RAJA for the movie "Anand" So we were wondering why do you want to direct a big hero who interfers with your creativity? Previously we had Jhandyala Garu who directed entertaining movies, so why not you take that path. We want you to make movies like Jhandyala Garu did. It seems that you are very few directors who doesn't go with the band. For example, one person makes Pokiri, the other 10 people makes Pokiri realted movies. So we appreciate your different approach. Also, we were also wondering when are you going to make a movie with RAJA again. We wish that you make more movies like Godavari that will keep us close to the Lost Love Stories

When I say I would like to work with stars I dont expect them to be stars in my movies...I see some stars fitting in my characters in Anand , Godavari....so I approach them...there is a significant advantages in making a movie with a star (higher production values...can take more time...etc..less pressure for release etc.).....as a maker any one would always want that advantage...but on the flip side the disadvantages...I still dont know cause i havent worked...With Raja...well if something comes up...

AT THE OUTSET I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOUR "HAPPY DAYS" UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS WITH ALL MY HEART THOUGH YOU BROKE MY HEART ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF THE SHOOTING.
FULLY BELIEVING IN YOUR SINCERITY IN SELECTING YOUR ACTORS ON MERIT I HAD RESPONDED TO YOUR WIDESPREAD CALL FOR ASPIRING ACTORS . JUST ONE DAY BEFORE YOUR SHOOTING I RECEIVED A CALL FROM YOUR OFFICE INFORMING ME OF MY SELECTION AND I WAS ASKED TO REPORT EARLY IN THE MORNING AT CBIT. FILLED WITH HAPPINESS I KEPT ASIDE MY EXAM PREPARATION , BOOKED A TAXI FOR THE WHOLE DAY AND REPORTED AT THE LOCATION . THE FIRST SHOCK WAS THAT NOBODY REALLY BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN WHY I WAS CALLED LEAVE ALONE EVEN GUIDING . I WAS ASKED TO STAY BACK FOR THE DAY BUT WAS MADE TO BE JUST A PART OF THE CROWD. THIS HURT ME IMMENSELY AS I ALREADY HAVE GOOD CREDENTIALS AS AN ACTOR AND DANCER . OUR ENTIRE FAMILY ESPECIALLY MY FATHER ALWAYS EXPRESSED VERY HIGH REGARD FOR YOU AS WE OURSELVES BELIEVE IN THE OLD VALUES OF SINCERITY. THOUGH HURT OUR ENTIRE FAMILY WISHES YOU ALL THE BEST AND I STILL ENTERTAIN HOPES OF YOUR CALLING ME VERY SOON FOR YOUR NEXT FILM.
Sincerely apologies.......in a film we have lot of people working...and mistakes bound to happen and sometimes communication becomes an issue......sorry for that and good luck...hope somthing works out for you...through me or anywhich way..
